It was City who were to register the game's first real chance as Gael Clichy whipped in a promising cross for striker Edin Dzeko, only for his header to be kept out by Alan McGregor at the top-right corner.

Hull sought to respond with an opportunity of their own and they almost went in front when Robbie Brady turned in a ball for Ahmed Elmohamady, who guided a header straight against the crossbar from six yards out.

The visitors continued to frustrate City as the home side tried to push forward, this time as Dzeko was put off providing the finish to Clichy's delivery thanks to some visiting pressure inside the box.

Hull's persistence in defence soon paid off as they took the lead in the 35th minute, when Meyler made the most of some poor City defending to tuck home from close range after a scramble inside the area.
