'I needed to prove a point' - Kamara

Abu Kamara's brace against Leeds were his first goals for Hull City

Hull City forward Abu Kamara says he had a point to prove - after scoring twice in their 3-3 draw with Championship leaders Leeds United.

In a week in which the forward was forced to apologise for a social media post on Portsmouth's Instagram account, Kamara opened the scoring before lashing home a late equaliser at the MKM Stadium.

"It feels great – I've had a tough period of time but to come away with the two goals fills me with confidence to push on and do more," he told BBC Radio Humberside.

"I needed to prove a point today and there were times I was thinking 'Shall I hide away from it?', but I'm not that kind of person."

The 21-year-old spent last season on loan at Portsmouth before completing a £4.5m move from Norwich City in August.

"It's been very difficult but the support around me from the team and manager, just knowing they have my back has made it easier," he said.

"Scoring my first goals for the club is massive and to open my account in a Yorkshire derby feels great."
