Fulham v Hull City live: score, updates and line-ups
How It Happened
- FT
Full time at Craven Cottage: Fulham 1-0 Hull City. Iwobi's first-half finish, set up by Berge, proved enough as the Cottagers dominated throughout, piling up 18 shots and 76% possession to Hull's five attempts, none of which were on target. Tzolakis was the busiest man on the pitch, denying Fulham time and again, while a late red card for substitute Sessegnon added a sour note but never threatened the result. A thoroughly deserved three points for Fulham against a well-organised but toothless Hull side.

A frustrating end to the match for Fulham - Sessegnon, on as a substitute, sees red for a foul on Vaz deep into stoppage time, leaving Fulham to see out the final moments with ten men. It shouldn't trouble the result though, with Hull still yet to muster a shot on target against a side that have dominated from start to finish.

Fulham have continued to pour forward in the closing stages, with García rattling the crossbar from close range off an Iwobi cross and Bobb twice going close either side of that. Berge picked up a booking for a foul as Hull tried to find a foothold through Belloumi's effort from outside the box, but it's been another spell of near-total Cottage control, with the visitors yet to register a shot on target all game.

Hull made a triple change on the hour but it hasn't shifted the balance - Fulham remain firmly in control, racking up possession past 78% and adding to their corner and shot tallies. Iwobi curled narrowly wide after good work from Bobb, and Charles had a strike blocked from the corner that followed, with Coyle's off-target effort the only sign of life from Hull in this spell.

Fulham have kept pressing and Tzolakis is doing his best to keep Hull in it, denying both King and Iwobi with fine saves since the restart. The Cottage side continue to dominate the ball and corners, though Hull have stayed disciplined at the back and the visitors' goal has survived another spell of pressure to keep it 1-0.

A quieter start to the second half with the ball mostly exchanging hands through midfield fouls rather than clear chances - Belloumi, Berge and Crooks have all given away free kicks since the restart. The shot and possession numbers have barely budged, so Fulham's 1-0 lead and overall control remain intact without them adding to the scoreline just yet.

- HTHalf-time round-upFulham1-0Hull
Half time at the Cottage and Fulham lead deservedly, with Iwobi's clinical finish from Berge's assist settling the opening 45. The hosts have been utterly dominant - nearly 79% possession and ten shots to two - while Hull have barely threatened, their only moment of note being a blocked effort from Belloumi. Tempers flared briefly with four bookings in quick succession, but it's been one-way traffic towards Tzolakis's goal.

Fulham are seeing out a dominant first half and nearly add a second before the break - King was denied by Tzolakis and Iwobi fired narrowly wide, while Hull's only response was Slater's effort flying high and wide. The hosts fully deserve their lead on this evidence, with Iwobi's finish from Berge's pass the difference so far.

Still all Fulham, even if the game has grown feistier. Bobb forced a save from Tzolakis before four quickfire yellow cards - two apiece - broke up the rhythm, with King and Herrington both booked for fouls. Hull have at least had a sight of goal through Belloumi's blocked effort, but Fulham remain miles ahead on the ball and corners without finding a breakthrough.

Fulham have completely dominated the opening quarter of an hour, piling on 86% of the possession and forcing three corners without reply. Iwobi and Bobb have both had efforts blocked as Hull City are penned back, though the visitors' defence has stood firm for now with the game still goalless.
