Vincent Kompany is still seeking his first home win as Burnley manager after dogged Hull eked out a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor. The Tigers would have gone top of the Sky Bet Championship with a win and seemed to be on course when Ozan Tufan gave them a first-half lead.
But Jay Rodriguez denied them with the equaliser on his first start since returning from injury, in a display that eased Kompany’s worry about the scarcity of goals.
Hull soaked up the steady pressure Burnley sought to apply and tried to hit them on the break, and that tactic paid off in the 25th minute.
Racing back to close down the lively threat of raiding left back Ian Maatsen, centre back Tobias Figueiredo’s hooked clearance was more desperate than creative.
