SQUIRRELING AWAY POINTS FOR STUBER

HULL'S hot streak fizzled out with a 3-2 home defeat to BRISTOL CITY, who nudged themselves within a point of the playoff places.

Sergey Jakirovic's men had won four of their last five games and looked set to maintain that run of form when Oli McBurnie netted.

But Bristol City responded to go 2-1 up at the interval through Rob Atkinson and Ross McCrorie (above).

Gerhard Struber’s side then added a third through Emil Riis and not even the presence of a rogue squirrel on the pitch and a second Hull goal from Kieran Dowell could prevent the away side claiming the points.

Struber said: “The boys showed a really good face against a team that had a really big momentum and many, many wins.

“The win and the performance was on a really high level.”
