Newly promoted Hull City could only manage a 1-1 draw with League One side Oldham on Tuesday.

Hull forced the breakthrough shortly after the half-hour mark when Caleb Folan met Craig Fagan's accurate cross to power home a header from six yards.

Ian Ashbee saw a powerful header drift narrowly wide before Oldham cancelled out the advantage 20 minutes from full-time courtesy of striker Lewis Alessandra.
