Hull City vs Brentford ends 1-1 after Ouattara equaliser

Brentford left the Hull City vs Brentford game with a point after Dango Ouattara levelled in the second half and Oliver McBurnie had earlier put Hull City ahead from the spot. Hull's lead came in the 24th minute, when McBurnie converted a penalty after Aaron Hickey fouled Tim Iroegbunam. Ouattara then struck from close range in the 63rd minute after Igor Thiago kept the ball alive in the box.

Brentford's second-half lift

Keith Andrews' side were much better after the break, and the equaliser came after Brentford had injected more energy into the attack through substitutes Mikkel Damsgaard and Aaron Anthony. Ouattara was Brentford's standout attacker, with a match rating of 7.25, and this was his first league goal of the season. Brentford now have 10 points from seven Premier League matches, and the draw kept their start intact.

Hull's run without a league win

The home side's frustration is harder to ignore because the reporting on their league run does not quite match. Sky Sports said Hull have gone six games without a league win, while the Standard described it as seven after this draw. Hull City also had a second penalty appeal turned down when Regan Slater went down under a challenge from Sepp van den Berg, so there was enough to leave them feeling they missed a chance to turn the first-half lead into a home win.

McBurnie's own afternoon still had some weight for Hull. His penalty was his first Premier League goal of the season, and his match rating of 7.12 reflected the part he played before Brentford recovered. The point leaves the result at 1-1, with Brentford taking the cleaner end of the second half and Hull left to reflect on what slipped away at the MKM Stadium.
