Tigers sign off with win

31 July 2010 18:30
Hull concluded their preparations for the Championship season with a 2-1 win at home to Dundee United. Former England man Nick Barmby came close to giving the Tigers an early lead but it was Tom Cairney who did open the scoring in the 10th minute. Richard Garcia held the ball up well on the edge of the area before teeing up Cairney to lash a shot into the roof of the net from 20 yards. The Scots were level within three minutes however as a trialist was left unmarked to head in a free-kick. Former Newcastle winger Nolberto Solano then saw his free-kick brilliantly saved by United goalkeeper Dusan Pernis but the ball cannoned in off a defender to give City the win.
