Brown proud of brave Tigers

28 Sep 2008 - 08:34:21

Hull City manager Phil Brown claimed his side were rewarded for being brave after they stunned Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium.

The Tigers had trailed to a Paul McShane own goal before two stunning goals in four second-half minutes from Geovanni and Daniel Cousin earned the visitors a third Premier League win of the season.

"I think everybody expected us to play 4-4-2 because of the four points we got in the last two games, but we decided to take a chance with Geovanni behind the front two," revealed Brown.

"We stuck with it. We knew we'd get a chance somewhere along the line. It wasn't a chance that came. It was a 35-yard strike.

"Those kind of goals have to go in for you at places like the Emirates and fortunately for us they did."

Speaking about Cousin's headed second from a corner, Brown revealed he had been working hard on training ground set-piece routines during the week.

He added: "They've conceded two goals this season so far in eight or nine games and both have been set-pieces.

"So we've been working hard at that on the training ground and fortunately for us one paid off."
