Bachir Belloumi scored twice as Hull City celebrated their 120th anniversary with a 4-1 win that keeps Cardiff marooned at the bottom of the Championship.
The winning margin might have flattered Hull, but there was no doubting they deserved to win on what was a special occasion for the club.A host of former fan favourites including Dean Windass, Peter Taylor and Brian Horton were paraded before kick-off as Hull prepared to host a side with just one point and one goal to show from their difficult season so far.
Hull had already won five points this season from losing positions – including their 3-1 win over Stoke last time out – and they were behind for only three minutes as Cardiff conceded cheaply when Belloumi’s dangerous cross evaded everyone in a crowded penalty area and drifted into the bottom corner of the net.
However, there was nothing Alnwick could do when Zambrano's shot took a big deflection and wrong-footed him to give Hull a 3-1 lead after 51 minutes. “We showed our mentality after conceding the first goal, after last week we did it again which is really brilliant and showed everyone that we have a good mentality and the players really trust in our philosophy.”“I am disappointed, we approached the game in the right way, tactically and strategically we wanted to hold their unorthodox builds and I think we did that, we won the ball high up the pitch on numerous occasions, but lacked the final pass to score, although we got our noses in front.
