Hull City lost 1-0 to Fulham in the Premier League, with Australian defender Lucas Herrington substituted at halftime.

Hull City suffered a 1-0 defeat to Fulham in the Premier League, with Australian defender Lucas Herrington substituted at halftime. The 19-year-old was booked midway through the first half for a foul, and a deflection off him from Alex Iwobi's shot put Fulham ahead in the 33rd minute.

Hull manager Sergej Jakirovic replaced Herrington at the interval with a tactical switch from a five-man backline to 3-4-3. Although Jakirovic had no complaints about Herrington's overall performance, the youngster's yellow card made him vulnerable for the remainder of the match. The change made no difference as Hull continued to struggle.

Jakirovic described the performance as 'really poor', saying it was the worst since he took charge. Hull have picked up only one point in their last three matches. Fulham, who had been bottom of the table before the win, moved out of the relegation zone following their first victory in six league matches.
