Hull City missed the chance to move out of the Premier League bottom three as they drew with a Burnley side who remain without an away league win this season. After a quiet first half, the hosts went ahead through Tom Huddlestone's penalty after Burnley defender Michael Keane handled in the penalty area. However, the lead only lasted four minutes before Keane blasted in an equaliser following a corner. Burnley ended the game with 10 men as Ashley Barnes was sent off in injury time for two bookable offences, but the hosts could not find a winner. It means Burnley have now only picked up two points from 12 away Premier League matches this season, the worst record in the top-flight. A win for Hull would have taken them out of the bottom three for the first time since Marco Silva became the club's manager in January. For a brief spell they looked on course for the victory that would have taken them up to 16th, but Burnley's equaliser dropped the Tigers back down to 19th.

The hosts had been wasteful in the first half with Dieumerci Mbokani, who remains without a goal in 11 appearances since joining the club on loan from Dynamo Kiev in August, heading over from close range. Kamil Grosicki also misjudged a lobbed attempt when Tom Heaton was out of position and put his shot too high. Huddlestone's penalty put Hull ahead, but Silva was angry with what he called "a lack of focus" when they left Keane unmarked at the back post, and he had enough time to take the ball down on his chest and blast in the equaliser. Burnley were unhappy with the awarding of Hull's penalty, which came when Keane handled as the players jostled for position in the penalty area as a left-wing corner came across. The away side argued that Hull's Harry Maguire had pushed Keane towards the ball, causing the handball. Barnes led the protests and was booked for dissent, before he was shown a second yellow in injury time when he left a flailing arm into the face of Andrea Ranocchia.

In an interview with BBC Sport, Keane expressed his disbelief that the penalty had been awarded. He said: "There is no way it was deliberate. The lad pushed me in the back and it moved me towards the ball. "Sometimes you get them, sometimes you don't and we didn't. If we had lost it would've been very harsh." Like Hull, Burnley had also been wasteful in front of the goal when the game was goalless. Barnes and Andre Gray shot just wide and Ben Mee's close-range header was fumbled on to the top of the crossbar by home goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic. Nevertheless, Burnley, who move up to 11th, battled well to earn only their second away point of the season. They have chances to earn more in their next three league games as they only play away from home in March - at Swansea, Liverpool and fellow strugglers Sunderland.
