Hull 1 Bolton 1

Premier League relgation battle continues with Hull City getting a point towards their cause.
Phil Brown's Hull managed to get an invaluable point at the Reebok Stadium to pull the Tigers out of the Premier League relegation zone, putting Newcastle United back in.

Gary Megson would have been pleased with a decent performance against a fired up Hull City and ultimately a point that consolidates their Premier League status for next season.

It was the home team Bolton took the lead with a good counter attack ending with full back Gretar Steinsson scoring after 26 minutes, his long distance drive from 20 yards appeared to have a slight deflection.

Hull eaqualised with Craig Fagan after a defensive mistake by Danny Shittu. Hull City kept pushing and pushing for a winner, they came very close. A great performance by Bolton keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen kept the Tigers out but Phil Brown has to be happy to get out of the relegation tonight after a nightmare second half of the season.
