Phelan hails Hull's character

Mike Phelan praised Hull City's resilience in rescuing a last-minute point after their 1-1 draw with Burnley.

Hull City caretaker manager Mike Phelan acclaimed his side's last-gasp equaliser in their 1-1 draw with Burnley as a triumph of perseverance.

Robert Snodgrass' expert free-kick, five minutes into stoppage time, rescued a point for Hull after it looked as though they were going to lose their second successive league game following Steven Defour's long-range strike.

Phelan said the late equaliser was just rewards for his side after going down in a similar fashion to Marcus Rashford's late winner for Manchester United in their last game.
