Last updated : 16 October 2004 By Ciderjar
Christian Roberts has scored for Swindon. Luton are 1-0 down at home to Huddersfield. Lita, Murray and Wilkshire have already had shots for City (15 minutes gone). Murray heads just wide from a cross from Tinnion (18 mins). Mat Hill shoots wide from 40 yards!

25 minutes gone. City have had 7 goal attempts (only 3 on target) to Hull's 0. We are 70%-30% up in terms of possession. Still no goal. Mickey Bell is put through by Luke Wilkshire and his shot shaves the outside of the post as it goes wide. Danny Coles heads wide off a defender and nothing comes from the corner. Luton now 2-0 down.

A deep cross from Tinnions left foot is met by BROOKER on his home debut, he powers in a header and scores!!!

1-0 (38 mins)

Orr is hacked down and the referee plays on. Murray hacked down, free kick given. The conditions are making sliding tackles a priority for Hull who are being overun. From the free kick Lita shoots wide. As we enter a minute of injury time, City have had 11 attempts on goal to Hulls 1, and are winning in terms of possession by 60% to 40% with one goal to show for it. Craig Woodman has scored on loan for Mansfield.

HT 1-0

Facey glances a header just wide for Hull. Bradley Orr shoots well over from 20 yards. Facey beats Mat Hill to the ball, bursts into the penalty area and scores with Hulls first attempt on target. 797 Tigers celebrate an unlikely equaliser.

1-1 (54 mins)

Brooker nods a cross back across goal for WiLKSHIRE to control, turn and score!!!!

2-1 (58 mins)

A run from Murray ends with a shot which Boaz Myhill palms out to Lita whose shot is cleared off the line and Brooker can't quite get on the end of it. City appear to be going for the jugular.

Lita puts Brooker in but he takes one to many touches and the chance is wasted. Murray shoots wide. Brooker returns the favour to Lita who hits the bar. The new strike partnership is looking good.

Hull force their first corner of the game, 70 minutes played and are allowed a free header which Elliot puts over. City are playing dangerously as Phillips comes off badly under challenge with the flag up for offside.

A tired Luke Wilkshire is replaced by Clayton Fortune (72 mins). Tinnion shoots over from the edge of the area. Lita brilliantly turns his defender but shoots hopelessly over.

Hull bring on a third striker as they sense they may snatch a point. Brooker shoots over. A Mickey Bell free kick is straight at the keeper. Mickey Bell takes a corner and BUTLER rises in front of Lita to score a deserved third for City.

3-1 (85 mins)

Brian Tinnion goes off to celebrate and is replaced by promising youngster Scott Brown. The Hull fans have seen enough and start to make their way home.

City have now had 23 goal attempts, although only 11 of them have been on target. Scott Murray goes off to be replaced by Kevin Amankwaah.

The game enters three minutes of stoppage but the three points are deservedly going to be Citys. Steve Brooker is named man of the match and City run out easy winners.

FT 3-1
