Hull 1 - 2 Blackburn Rovers
The commitment to the cause was evident from the off and Stephen Warnock was booked in the first minute after clattering Bernard Mendy. This set the tone for a lively encounter which was strangely quiet on the goal action front. El Hadji Diouf and Geovanni had the best chances in the first half hour before Matt Duke in the Tigers goal fumbled a Pedersen shot and Roque Santa Cruz was able to set up Warnock to score.

Jason Brown replaced Robinson after half-time and shortly afterwards Phil brown withdrew Geovanni much to the displeasure of the striker and a section of the home crowd. Dean Marney did not help the situation when he retaliated, kicking Pedersen, and the resultant red card was deserved with the Norwegian seeing yellow. Pedersen joined him later after a late and high challenge on Zayatte. Mendy pulled one back for City but they could not capitalise on this and Blackburn held on for a vital win, dragging Hull into the relegation mire.
