Abel Hernandez scored the only goal of the game as Hull City won 1-0 at 10-man Nottingham Forest in the Championship this afternoon.
Hernandez gave Hull the lead minutes before half time when he turned home Sam Clucas's flick-on from a corner.
The Uruguayan forward could have had a first-half hattrick after he had a penalty saved by Dorus de Vries and wasted an early header.
In truth the Tigers could have been out of sight, with Mohammed Diame seeing his long-range strike rattle the woodwork.
Despite the visitors' dominance, Forest did create their share of chances, but were made to rue wasteful finishing from Chris O'Grady in particular.
Portuguese striker Nelson Oliviera threatened from range on a number of occasions, but was continually thwarted by Allan McGregor in the Hull goal.
Tempers flared late on when a scuffle broke out between both sets of players, which resulted in Clucas and Eric Lichaj being cautioned, before Forest defender Matt Mills was sent off for a lunge on Chuba Akpom.
