Hull 1 West Ham 0: Michael Turner emerged as the latest hero of Hull's remarkable Premier League ascent as his header proved enough to inflict more capital carnage. Following wins at Arsenal and Tottenham, Turner struck to sink Gianfranco Zola's ailing West Ham.

Confidence oozing from every pore, the home side deserved their latest win for their attacking intent and Phil Brown's men looked dangerous on the counter-attack right up to the final whistle.

The optimism and belief surging through the home side is in stark contrast to the Hammers, who were left to rue two Carlton Cole misses but summoned little by way of their quest for an equaliser.

Cole hit a simple first-half effort straight at Hull goalkeeper Bo Myhill when he should have scored, then scythed an even better chance against the underside of the bar moments after the restart from Turner's goal.
