Hull 2-2 Leeds

Leeds came back from two goals down to share the spoils with Hull City in this Yorkshire derby at the KC Stadium.

Matt Fryatt opened for Hull with a cool shot into the corner from Aaron Mclean's defence splitting pass.

And centre-half James Chester made it two when he rose unmarked to head Andy Dawson's corner into the net.

But Robert Snodgrass blasted a free kick beyond Brad Guzan from 25 yards out and Davide Somma completed the Leeds come-back with a left foot shot.

Simon Grayson's charges had enjoyed 10 days' rest prior to the clash and that breather may have left the United backline rusty as they were exposed after 30 seconds.

James Harper and Fryatt combined to release the latter and when his low cross picked out the unmarked Mclean, a goal seemed certain but the former Peterborough man somehow bundled wide from a matter of yards.

Leeds recovered and Max Gradel curled a shot over the bar, while George McCartney tested Guzan with a 30-yard drive.

The visitors thought they had scored when Snodgrass's drive was palmed up by Guzan and nearly looped into the net but it was retrieved by the American keeper.

Hull responded and only Kasper Schmeichel's fingertip save denied Robert Koren a spectacular strike and the Dane was at his best again moments later to thwart Anthony Gerrard whose header was destined for the top corner.

The deadlock was broken when Mclean was allowed to turn and play in Fryatt, who slipped between the Leeds back four to slot past Schmeichel.

With Leeds unsettled, the Tigers pounced to double their advantage six minutes before the break when Chester planted home a header from Dawson's corner.

Snodgrass pulled one back when he put a peach of a free-kick around the wall and past Guzan just before the break.

And Leeds levelled at the restart when Somma's thunderbolt cannoned off the underside of the bar and into the net.

Both managers made changes in search of a winner but the game petered out as Hull ended the night with 10 men after Liam Rosenior was stretchered off.
