A point apiece in the table

The result left Hull 10th and Brentford sixth in the Premier League table, according to the Guardian's full-time update. The points kept both clubs in the league's upper half after a match that offered each side a chance to take the lead: Hull scored first from the spot, and Brentford responded after the interval. The Times characterized the draw as a result both teams could consider fair given the limited quality in difficult conditions.^{[2] [3]}

It was the clubs' first Premier League meeting, Brentford's preview said. Hull returned to the top flight this season after winning promotion through the Championship playoffs following a nine-year absence, the club's preview said. Before kickoff Brentford were sixth and Hull ninth; the Guardian's full-time update placed Brentford sixth and Hull 10th after the draw. The result therefore preserved Brentford's higher position while leaving Hull in the league's upper half.^{[1] [4]}
