Mike Phelan still hoping to become permanent Hull City manager

But Robert Snodgrass scored his sixth goal of the season, after his hat-trick for Scotland during the global break, in the dying minutes with a free-kick.

Hernandez and Ahmed Elmohamady missed Hull chances to draw level as the visitors piled on the pressure before Snodgrass silenced the home crowd.

In his time in charge however, they have defied the odds somewhat by beating champions Leicester City on the opening day, before going to the Liberty Stadium and beating Swansea 2-0 the following week.

Hull ought to have gone ahead six minutes after the restart when Diomande somehow steered wide from six yards following Meyler’s pinpoint cut-back. Defour’s excellent first touch took him away from the Hull midfield before his rasping drive defeated Eldin Jakupovic low to the keeper’s left.

Meanwhile, a selection of the club’s influx of new signings – Ryan Mason, David Marshall and Will Keane – are consigned to the bench.

SEAN Dyche felt Burnley had the better of their 1-1 draw with Hull City and admitted they should have seen the game out.

“I’m absolutely delighted … as a club we’ve had a fantastic start to the Premier League season and to be recognised individually in this way is very pleasing”, he said. – Robert Snodgrass has had a hand in five goals in his last eight league appearances for Hull, scoring three and assisting two.

The result maintained the unfancied Tigers’ impressive start to the season, moving them to seven points from four games, while Burnley progress to four points.
