Exeter 1-3 Hull: Adama Diomande makes Premier League quality tell after Jake Taylor gave Grecians two minutes in dreamland

Daily Mail | August 23, 2016

Hull continued their fine start to the season, but only after they were given a scare by Sky Bet League Two Exeter.

Jake Taylor gave Exeter the lead with a stunning long-range strike, but joint Premier League leaders Hull hit back to win 3-1 with two goals from Adama Diomande and a Robert Snodgrass strike.

After a relatively even first 15 minutes, Hull came within a whisker of taking the lead when the dangerous Diomande cut in from the left wing and curled a shot against the face of the crossbar.
