Hull City head coach Leonid Slutsky has told The Pink ‘Un that he has terrible feelings after they conceded a late equaliser in their match against Norwich City.

The Tigers were hopeful of getting a win which would be monumental for them. They have not won away from home in 14 months, something which heavily contributed as to why they got relegated from the Premier League and why they have struggled to get off to a good start this season.

But it appeared that Hull might just get that all important win while at Carrow Road yesterday. They took the lead through Nouha Dicko, scoring his first goal for the club, and they were able to hold on for a while even when David Meyler was sent off for his second bookable offence. However they suffered a cruel blow when Nelson Oliveira scored in the 96th minute, meaning their search for an away win continues.

Slutsky was devastated by the late equaliser, saying:

“I think we have all kinds of terrible feelings inside. It is difficult to analyse the Norwich goal because it was the last chance, the last throw – a long throw where they had everybody in the box,”

“They were the first to react to the flick-on. They scored not after five minutes of added time, but in the sixth minute of added time. But that is the referee’s decision and it is difficult to speak about this.”

“I must respect each decision by the referee. Of course each coach will disagree with the referee some times. It was his decision. It is his job. I must respect his job. Meyler is frustrated. He is more disappointed with the foul than the referee’s decision. We played with ten men for the last 35 minutes and that is very difficult. We showed character and played compactly.”

“We had good discipline but this is the fifth time that we have conceded at the end of a game. The first time I said it was a test for us, the second time I said it was a serious test but now it is difficult to analyse.”

“I am proud about the level at which we played, especially coming back after an international break because the first game can be unpredictable. Seven of our starting eleven had been away for international matches.”
