Home comforts help Hull top Liverpool

HULL, England -- Three quick thoughts on Hull City's 1-0 win over Liverpool in the Premier League at the KC Stadium on Tuesday night.

1. Hull's home comforts

It is at the KC Stadium where Hull City's future will be decided, though perhaps they may have decided it here -- 34 points may already be enough. Beyond Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United must visit Humberside. And Burnley, which City may be able to escape with a draw.

Pre-match adverts for season tickets seemed more in hope than expectation of being able to deliver top-level football next season, although a weekend victory at Crystal Palace had brightened spirits at a club many predicted to plunge down, as Hull began with some confidence.
