CITY BOSS REFLECTS ON THE LAST-DAY DRAMA
A relieved Hull City coach Ruben Selles admits Saturday's final-day draw with Portsmouth summed up the season.
City roared into a deserved lead when Matt Crooks turned in Gustavo Puerta’s corner after a Joao Pedro flick at the near post.
Their dominance should have brought more goals, but they were unable to capitalise.
Pompey recovered and while Joe Gelhardt and Joao Pedro should have scored shortly after the interval, a poor second half allowed the hosts to gain control and the hosts levelled when Christian Saydee slammed in.
John Egan's header was well saved and Mason Burstow passed up a gilt-edged chance. Thankfully, those missed chances mattered little with the Tigers surviving on goal difference from Luton, who were relegated after losing 5-3 at West Brom, though the Tigers did finish as the lowest scorers in the league with just 44.
