United reduced to 10 men. Substitute Marouane Fellaini, who came on in the second half, is dismissed after stamping on Paul McShane. A disgraceful tackle.

"St James' Park is about as serene as it has been all afternoon - but not that serene. Newcastle have been by far the better side in this second half but as we enter the last 15 minutes there is still the capacity for all that to change."

Abel Hernadez has just punched Phil Jones in the stomach after the two players battled at a corner, but no official spotted the incident and he is lucky to get away with that.

"Great save from Victor Valdes, down really low with his left hand and around for a corner. Really good pressure though from the home side. The attitude of the Hull players has been magnificent. But the one thing they lack? A goal."

OOOOOH! Nearly, but not quiet. Hull striker Nikica Jelavic with a deft flick which is heading into the bottom corner, but Victor Valdes gets down and stretches to push the ball away. It's another fantastic save from the Spaniard.

United make a change as Juan Mata comes off for James Wilson.

It's just not happening for Hull. Nikica Jelavic's dap into the box richocets off Marcos Rojo, but falls straight into the hands of Victor Valdes. On another day, that could have ended up in the net. Has Hull's luck ran out?

Double change being made by Steve Bruce.

Centre forward for a centre-back as Abel Hernandez comes on for James Chester, while front man Dame N'Doye is replaced by another forward Sone Aluko. What can the subs do? The system has changed and Hull are going for it.

Michael Dawson has been a rock at the back for Hull today, heading away everything that comes in his vicinity. United teasing their opponents, looking to work an opening but Hull push them back all the way to Victor Valdes.

"Steve Bruce has got to start thinking about changes now. Hull need a bit of trickery and magic to get the impetus back."

Hull are pushing forward now, they need a goal and hope that West ham equalise. The further forward they go, the more gaps that will appear at the back.

Still 1-0 to Newcastle at St James' Park against West Ham, which means Hull are going down. Click here if you want comprehensive live text coverage of that match.

"Victor Valdes has come for a punch, missed it and seemed to get Wayne Rooney. He's flat out on the pitch for the second time this season.

"Hull are starting to go for it now. This is all they can do and hope the results go elsewhere for them, which at the moment it isn't."

Another chance for Hull! Dame N'Doye hooks an effort goalwards from Ahmed Elmohamady's cross, but it sails wide of goal. Steev Bruce with his hands on his head.

Oh, so close. Robbie Brady curls a beauty of a cross into the box which neither Paul McShane nor Dame N'Doye can get on the end of. It's not going to be their day.

Hull fans cheering wildly, they think West Ham have scored at Newcastle...but they haven't. Settle down.

Victor Valdes struggling with the high ball in the box, again flapping at a ball which almost ends up in the back of the net, but he is thankful to his team-mates who clear. Daley Blind swatting the ball out of play.

"Hull City are struggling with what they have been struggling with all season, not scoring goals. They started off really well but they are fading now. Playing Manchester United was never going to be easy and Van Gaal is just shoring things up."

Ander Herrera with a bobbly effort for United which goes wide of Steve Harper's goal. A goal for the away side will kill everything now.

Second substitution of the game for United. Marouane Fellaini comes on for Ashley Young.
