Tom Huddlestone excels but Hull forced to settle for a draw vs. Burnley

Hull City will enjoy few better chances to escape the Premier League's bottom three than this. Despite taking the lead through Tom Huddlestone's 72nd minute penalty, a gift after Michael Keane's handball, the Tigers were soon pegged back and surrendered two precious points.

Keane's clinical finish, unmarked from a left-wing corner, was particularly difficult for Marco Silva to stomach. Although there was nothing disastrous about collecting a 21st point of the season, City fell a place to 19th instead of climbing up to 16th.

Positives

City finished February, as tough a month as any they'll face all season, with five points banked in the fight for survival.
