1-0 Turner 51′

Carlton Cole and Herita Ilunga both missed glorious opportunities for West Ham in the opening half.

Turner put Hull in front when he headed in powerfully from an Andy Dawson corner just after the break.

The Hammers almost equalised when Cole’s shot from five yards out beat Boaz Myhill, but saw his effort come back off the underside of the bar.

It was a third consecutive win for Phil Brown’s Hull side, whose tally of 17 points after eight games is the second best total for a promoted club since the start of the Premier League.

After wins at Arsenal and Tottenham the Tigers earned their first victory at home since the opening day of the season.

There was little between the two sides, but West Ham were made to pay for some poor finishing, while they are left still looking for a first clean sheet in the league since February.
