Snodgrass was involved in the play throughout. Hull had the first decent sight of goal in the sixth minute, Curtis Davies heading wide from Snodgrass’s corner.

Snodgrass had a hand in the opener as well. Towards the end of the first half, a Snodgrass effort resulting in a corner. From which King’s defensive header almost went into his own net but resulted in another corner.

From the phase of play at that corner, Hernandez and Diomande launched their synchronised back flips and connected to take Hull ahead.

The Foxes were level early in the second half when Riyhad Mahrez converted a penalty awarded for a foul outside the area. Then Hull secured a winner to tip the prevailing narrative on its head when Robert Snodgrass lashed home from 18 yards.

Now if only, the Scot could manage some consistency.
