Stevenage 1 Hull City 1 - Grant McCann rues missed chances as Tigers suffer in penalty shootout

The League Two strugglers produced one of the shocks of the FA Cup second round as they beat League One leaders Hull on penalties.

Chelsea loanee Jamie Cumming was the hero for Boro as he made good saves to deny Tom Eaves and Sean McLoughlin in the shootout.

Eaves had earlier given the visitors the lead from the penalty spot after Martin Samuelson had been felled by Arthur Iontton.

Substitute Elliott List finished well to level for the hosts and, after neither side could find a winner in extra time, the game went to penalties where the side 21st in League Two held their nerve.

Hull, beaten FA Cup finalists in 2014, had won their previous six matches in all competitions but their much-changed side never really dominated against an organised Stevenage.

“I thought we were very wasteful – really, really wasteful in the attacking third,” said McCann.

“We got in there very well in the first half and played well in terms of building up from the back, getting into the final third.

“But then we were just shooting from 25-30 yards, blazing things over the crossbar, not slipping each other in.

“I felt we played as individuals up there. Credit to Stevenage – I thought they deserved it. We were nowhere near good enough to win this game.”
