Hull City 0-2 Man City Highlights
Ten-man Manchester City recovered from Vincent Kompany’s early dismissal to edge out Hull City and move up to second in the Premier League table.
Captain Kompany saw red for bundling over Nikica Jelavic as the Croatian ran towards goal inside 10 minutes.
But David Silva’s superb strike settled the nerves and Pablo Zabaleta almost made it 2-0 when his shot hit the bar.
The Tigers had plenty of possession but created little and Edin Dzeko sealed the win late on with a cool low finish.

Head-to-head
Manchester City have not won a league game at Hull in seven attempts (D3, L4) since a 2-1 victory in their first ever visit in 1909.
Hull’s 2-0 defeat at the Etihad earlier this season is the only time in five previous Premier League meetings that they have failed to score.
Hull City
Hull have won just one of their last seven Premier League home matches (W1, D2, L4).
The Tigers have won only three of their last 15 league games (W3, D4, L8). Each of those three victories have come when they have kept a clean sheet.
Half of Hull’s eight league wins this season have come against clubs currently in the relegation zone.
Steve Bruce’s side have lost 13 of 14 matches in which the opposition have scored the opening goal this season, their 3-2 win at Newcastle in September being the exception.
There have only been eight first-half goals in the last 10 league matches involving Hull.
Nikica Jelavic has three goals in his last four league appearances but is yet to score a home goal for the Tigers.
Manchester City
Manchester City have lost four of their last eight matches in all competitions (W3, D1).
They have won four and lost two of their last six league games, the equal-best run of results over this period along with Chelsea.
City are six points down on their tally after 26 games of their title-winning 2011-12 season.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side have won just three of eight matches (D2, L3) away to sides currently in the bottom half of the Premier League table.
There have only been two goals in City’s last three Premier League matches, this after 62 goals were scored in their previous 14 games (almost 4.5 per game).
