Hull City’s unbeaten home record remains intact but the Tigers have not tasted victory for seven games after a 1-1 draw with Brentford at the MKM Stadium.

The opening goal came courtesy of an 24th-minute Oli McBurnie penalty, awarded when Aaron Hickey hooked his leg through Tim Iroegbunam’s to flatten him inside the area.

McBurnie picked out the bottom right of the net and though Brentford’s Caoimhin Kelleher guessed right, he could not get in the way of his opponent’s first Premier League goal for over 900 days.

After the break Hull were left to rue some inattentive defending as Igor Thiago found his way to Dango Ouattara, who slotted the ball home under very little pressure at all to make it 1-1 in the 63rd minute.

Jaidon Anthony pushed for another Brentford goal and saw an initial shot land just wide before a second chance forced a save from Konstantinos Tzolakis, but there was a quick counter as Mohamed Belloumi raced in the other direction before firing over the bar at a distance.

An 88th-minute chance was Hull’s last to find the winning goal, but Mohamed Ali-Cho’s cross to Joe Gelhardt resulted in an off-target shot that ensured the Tigers took no more than a point as their wait for a win continues.
