Burnley down and Hull set to follow
Danny Ings' second-half winner was not enough to save Burnley from relegation out of the Barclays Premier League - and opponents Hull are now favourites to follow after this perilous defeat.
Results elsewhere conspired to doom the Clarets, who had gone into the KC Stadium clash knowing they needed a win to stand any chance of staying up, and that even that might not be enough.
Sean Dyche's men kept their side of the bargain with a gutsy display capped by Ings' 62nd-minute strike which ended a run of more than 10 hours without a goal.
But it proved a dismal afternoon for the Tigers, who now look in serious danger of joining Burnley in the Championship as they languish in the drop zone with games against Tottenham and Manchester United to come.
Robbie Brady twice slammed the woodwork from long-range free-kicks and substitute Abel Hernandez came close with a back-heel but the Tigers' performance lacked the buzz with which they had set about beating Liverpool less than two weeks ago.
