Ouattara salvages a point for Brentford at Hull

Brentford salvaged a point with a 1-1 draw away at Hull City in the Premier League.

Hull went ahead in the 25th minute when Oli McBurnie converted a penalty. Brentford goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher played a poor pass to Aaron Hickey, and Everton loanee Tim Iroegbunam intercepted the ball and was fouled by the defender. McBurnie scored from the spot, his first Premier League goal this season.

Hull were the better side for much of the first half and disrupted Brentford's rhythm. Hull also appealed for a second penalty after Regan Slater fell following contact with Sepp van den Berg, but no spot kick was given. Brentford struggled to create a clear chance in attack. Semi Ajayi stood out with his performance at the back.

Keith Andrews' side were more direct after the break and drew level in the 63rd minute. Igor Thiago kept the ball alive in the penalty area and squared it for Ouattara, who finished from close range. The goal gave the visitors more confidence, and players such as Mikkel Damsgaard and Aaron Anthony added energy to the attack.

Both teams had chances to win in the closing minutes. Hull goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis saved a close-range effort from Mohamed-Ali Cho. Joe Gelhardt then failed to convert a late chance that followed good work from Cho.

The result extended Hull's winless run to six matches. Brentford, despite a poor first half, returned home with a point. Brentford sit sixth in the Premier League with 11 points from eight matches, while Hull have risen to tenth with 10 points.
