A Dame N'Doye goal has given Hull City a 1-0 lead against Sunderland in this evening's Premier League clash at the KC Stadium.
Both sides began the game somewhat slowly, although the hosts soon got into gear and began pushing into the opposition's final third, sending a series of tentative crosses into the box.
Hull made the most of their dominant spell and took the lead on the quarter-hour mark, as Tom Huddlestone's ball was expertly back-heeled into the visitors' net by N'Doye.
Following the goal, the game opened up as both sides began pushing forward, but few truly testing chances were registered.
Drama then kicked off on the touchline midway through the first half when Gus Poyet was sent to the stands after an altercation with Steve Bruce over Jack Rodwell's booking.
