Thomas Kirk gets penalty incident horribly wrongLeicester got a lifeline early in the second half, when Kirk pointed to the penalty spot after Abdul Fatawu went to ground under a challenge from Lewis Koumas inside the box.

Hull manager Sergej Jakirovic was shown a yellow card for his protests on the touchline, before promptly being given his marching orders after continuing to protest after his team fell behind. The Bosnian certainly had a case, as it appeared that Fatawu had gone to ground far too easily, and the referee fell for his dive.Ryan Giles left frustrated after yellow card incidentRyan Giles became the second man in Kirk’s book when he fouled Abdul Fatawu with the winger bearing down on the Hull goal during a counter-attack.

It was a challenge that was undoubtedly worthy of a yellow card, but the left-back was clearly frustrated by the way that Leicester’s break began. A fast break from the home team left Giles in a position where he felt that he had to commit a cynical foul to get his team off the hook, but Kirk should never have allowed it to reach that stage in the first place. 🦊 Don’t Miss a Beat: Your Leicester City Insider Access Get the full story from the King Power and Seagrave with our dedicated expert hubs: Updated 24/7 with expert analysis from the East Midlands.
