Hull fightback sends Boro to third straight loss

Published on: 13 December 2023

Liam Delap's header midway through the second half began Hull's comeback at Middlesbrough

Hull City fought back to beat Middlesbrough and condemn the hosts to a third straight defeat.

Boro were ahead early when neat play between Lukas Engel and Sam Greenwood on the left teed up Isaiah Jones, whose shot was blocked before Emmanuel Latte Lath stabbed in the rebound.

The hosts were punished for failing to extend their lead when Jacob Greaves flicked on Tyler Morton's corner to the back post, where Liam Delap nodded in the equaliser unmarked.

Tigers goalkeeper Ryan Allsop then denied Greenwood from close range before Ozan Tufan swept in Hull's winner from the edge of the box with nine minutes left.
