Half-Time Report: Jake Livermore gives Hull City the lead

Hull City go into half time against Tottenham Hotspur with a 1-0 lead thanks to a strike from former Spurs midfielder Jake Livermore.

Jake Livermore's strike has given Hull City a 1-0 lead going into half time of their Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon.

Both sides came out in determined fashion and fans at the KC Stadium were treated to a fairly high-tempo start to the match.

The frantic opening exchanges culminated in an early goal as former Spurs player Livermore fired in from 20 yards to give Hull the lead.

It was the home side's first goal in over five hours of football and Steve Bruce would have been pleased with how threatening his team looked on the counter-attack.

Spurs, on the other hand, looked second best throughout the half and really should have gone further behind through Robbie Brady, but Hugo Lloris got down low to push the midfielder's effort away from goal.

Christian Eriksen tried to make things happen for Spurs in the final third, but his shot deflected wide. From the resulting corner, Roberto Soldado nodded a poor header off target.

Erik Lamela then hit a stinging drive from 25 yards out as Spurs tried to capitalise on their superior possession before the break.
