Hull City 0 – 1 Huddsf’ld

Huddersfield’s promotion push regained momentum as they made a winning return from the international break with a 1-0 victory over 10-man Hull.

The Tigers started well but their hopes of taking anything from the game were hit when striker Tom Eaves was sent off after two cheap bookings in the first half.

Although it took 23 attempts, Carlos Corberan’s men finally made the breakthrough with 11 minutes to play, when Harry Toffolo followed the ball in after goalkeeper Matt Ingram had tipped Tom Lees’ towering header into his path.

As a result, Huddersfield leapfrog Luton back into third in the Championship table, three points behind second-placed Bournemouth, though they have played four games more.

Hull’s sixth straight defeat at the MKM Stadium equals a club record set between September and November 1992 under Terry Dolan and keeps them 20th.
