HOT-SHOT CONNOLLY WRAPS UP TIGERS FEAT

Hull were in control from the outset and tightened their grip when Harry Pickering was shown a 17th-minute red card for bringing Liam Delap down when clean through.

But the resilient Blackburn team took the lead through Sam Gallagher’s emphatic finish in the 74th minute, setting up a frantic ending to the game.

Connolly equalised with a first-time volley in the 81st minute, before again timing his run to perfection with two minutes remaining to stroke home a winner and give Hull a first league win at Ewood since February 2016.

Rosenior said: “Aaron’s finish, he’s got that ability in training. He just takes things really early. He took both goals so early so the goalkeeper couldn’t get set and now he’s got three in two.
