Brentford 2 Hull City 1: Tigers ousted as Bean stoops for late winner

The midfielder stooped low in the area 10 yards out to power Charlie MacDonald's cross into the bottom corner to send the Griffin Park crowd wild.

It was no more than the League One outfit deserved for outplaying the Tigers for long spells.

But it did not start well for the Bees, striker Robbie Simpson heading back across his own goal for the waiting Mark Cullen to slam home for the visitors.

But midway through the half Brentford responded, this time Simpson curling a beauty over the wall into the top corner from the edge of the box.

Nigel Pearson's side started the brighter after the break when Robert Koren saw his chipped effort from 20 yards bounce back off the angle.

Minutes later Jamie Devitt sent an angled drive just wide before Brentford began the fightback.

It was all the Londoners for the final half-hour and only a super goalline stop from Matt Duke denied Simpson's header.
