Hull owner Acun Ilicali struggled with his emotions after the final whistle and he can look forward to the play-offs, in which the Tigers have won twice promotion twice previously.<\/p>\n
They began, however, like a team who had not won in their previous six games as Norwich took control, opening the scoring when Toure volleyed home Anis Ben Slimane’s dinked pass into the middle.<\/p>\n
But 12 seconds after the restart, Norwich conceded a penalty when Ruairi McConville fouled Joe Gelhardt and McBurnie slotted home the spot-kick in the 28th minute.<\/p>\n
Despite being second best, Hull threatened again when Matt Crooks’ close-range header was saved by goalkeeper Vladan Kovacevic.<\/p>\n
The Tigers went even closer when Kovacevic had to make an excellent stop, diving to his left to push away McBurnie’s right-foot shot from Ryan Giles’ free-kick.<\/p>\n
Derby falling behind to Sheffield United and Middlesbrough holding Wrexham presented Hull with an opportunity \u2013 and they seized it through McBurnie.<\/p>\n
Skipper Lewie Coyle swung in a free-kick and Crooks flicked it on for the striker to score and send the home fans wild.<\/p>\n
The drama was not over and Norwich’s Paris Maghoma felt he should have had a penalty in the 95th minute before Mathias Kvistgaarden had a shot deflected wide and the home fans cheered like a goal had been scored when Ivor Pandur caught the resultant corner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hull owner Acun Ilicali struggled with his emotions after the final whistle and he can look forward to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":562496,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-562495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/562495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=562495"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/562495\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/562496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=562495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=562495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=562495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
