OSCAR'S PEN STEALS A POINT FOR TIGERS

TIM WALTER accepts depleted Hull need reinforcements and quick after drawing at home to Bristol City.

Walter looked consigned to defeat in his first game in charge at the MKM Stadium once Fally Mayulu scored after 84 minutes on his Robins debut. But Oscar Estupinan converted an injury-time penalty to earn Hull a point that few saw coming.

Walter said: “We need more players in, but they will come. My job is to train them hard and to get the best from them. They showed courage and that they have big balls.

“It is a short time to get so many players in, but we are working hard.”

Bristol City were the better side overall but the hosts began purposefully, with Regan Slater forcing Max O’Leary into a smart save at his near post.

They came even closer to scoring after 11 minutes when Abdulkadir Omur’s low free-kick from the left caused confusion inside Bristol City’s box.
