A 1‑1 draw at the MKM Stadium on Sunday night saw Brentford salvage a point against Hull City after a first‑half penalty gave the hosts a 1‑0 lead. Dango Ouattara’s second‑half equaliser kept the Bees on the board while Hull’s winless run in the Premier League stretched to six games.
The match began with Hull City looking to break a string of defeats. They took the lead in the 25th minute when a poor pass from Brentford goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher left Aaron Hickey exposed. Everton loanee Tim Iroegbunam won the ball before being brought down by a Hull defender, and Oli McBurnie calmly converted the resulting penalty to score his first Premier League goal of the season. Hull’s attack was largely contained by Brentford’s disciplined defence, and the visitors were denied a second penalty when Regan Slater appeared to be fouled under a challenge from Sepp van den Berg.
Brentford’s fortunes changed in the second half. After a solid defensive display from Semi Ajayi, the Bees’ attack began to click. In the 63rd minute, Igor Thiago kept the ball alive in the box before setting up Ouattara, who finished from close range to level the score. The equaliser lifted Brentford’s confidence, and substitutes Mikkel Damsgaard and Aaron Anthony added fresh energy to the attack in the closing stages.
Both sides had chances to win the match late on. Hull’s Konstantinos Tzolakis denied a close‑range effort from Mohamed‑Ali Cho, while Brentford’s substitute Joe Gelhardt missed a late opportunity after a good run from Cho. The draw leaves Hull still searching for their first league victory in six games, while Brentford return home with a point after a shaky first half.
Brentford now sit sixth in the Premier League table with 11 points from eight matches, while Hull climb to 10th on 10 points. The result keeps both teams in the hunt for a better start to the season, with Brentford looking to build on the resilience shown in the second half and Hull hoping to break their winless streak in the coming fixtures.
