Dango Ouattara scored his first goal of the season as Brentford were held to a 1-1 draw by newly promoted Hull City on Sunday afternoon. 

The Bees had to come from behind to get a point at the MKM Stadium, after a risky pass from Caoimhin Kelleher played Aaron Hickey into trouble, leading the Scotsman to bring down Tim Iroegbunam and hand the Tigers a penalty, which Oli McBurnie converted to put the hosts 1-0 up. 

Keith Andrews' men equalised just past the hour mark as Dango Ouattara poked home from close range, however were unable to find a winner in what was a fairly lacklustre performance for the most part, ensuring that the West Londoners have now drawn all four of their four away games in the Premier League this season. 

A point ensures Brentford remain in sixth place in the Premier League, with their next league fixture a home clash with Nottingham Forest on Saturday. 

Starting XI 

Caoimhin Kelleher - 4 

Played a hospital pass which was never really on to Aaron Hickey leading to the penalty which saw Hull take the lead. 

Lacked any real opportunity to atone for his error, with a decent save with his feet to deny Mohamed Ali Cho the only other shot on target faced across the afternoon.

Michael Kayode - 7

Was one of Brentford's better performances on the day. 

Created four chances in attack whilst also contributing defensively with four interceptions, five clearances and two out of two tackles won. 

Sepp Van Den Berg - 5

Looked fairly rusty and much like a player yet to fully get to speed having spent months out injured. 

Won three of his four duels in the air but won zero out of five ground duels.

Kristoffer Ajer - 7

Mopped up impressively in defence and carried the ball out well from the back. 

Has firmly established himself as Brentford's number one choice at centre back so far this season.

Keane Lewis-Potter - 6

Struggled to have any real impact going forward on his return to his hometown club.

Did well defensively to help keep Mohamed Belloumi fairly quiet. 

Mamadou Sangare - 7 

Had the most touches and most defensive contributions of any player in the match. 

Broke up play well in the middle of the park and showed much needed quality on the ball in a game where it was largely lacking. 

Aaron Hickey - 5

Was unable to truly excel in a newer midfield role on an afternoon where Brentford really missed the suspended Vitaly Janelt.

A yellow card hanging over his hard from 25 minutes in no doubt did him no favours in trying to bring defensive steel to the Bees midfield, having been booked for the foul which led to Hull's penalty. 

Dango Ouattara - 7 (Man of the Match) 

Easily the most lively of Brentford's front three and deserved to pick up his first goal of the season - a goal which will no doubt do his confidence the world of good. 

Could easily have registered an assist too in the first half, with his cut back setting up a big chance for Kevin Schade whose goalbound effort was accidentally blocked by Igor Thiago.

Mathias Jensen - 5 

Lacked his usual quality in possession, losing the ball a few too many times over the course of 90 minutes. 

Kevin Schade - 6

Used his pace to get in behind on a few occasions but was unable to find the right execution with his final ball. 

Should have had a goal at the end of his first half, seeing his close range effort blocked by his own man. 

Igor Thiago - 5

Found himself losing possession far too often, with his touch letting him down on more than one occasion in attack. Sadly still looking extremely low on confidence and yet to reach the levels he did last season. 

Gained himself some credit with a quality assist, showing good awareness to spot Ouattara free and set him up for the equaliser. 

Substitutes

Jaidon Anthony - 7 

Made Brentford a better side when he came on. 

Played his part in the equaliser with a dangerous cross and wasn't too far away from netting a winner with a close effort just wide of the post from range. 

Mikkel Damsgaard - 6 

Had a positive impact on the Bees' midfield, getting on the ball and providing a creative spark. 

El Hadji Malick Diouf - 6 

Didn't have much time to insert himself on the game, although was able to showcase his dangerous delivery again completing two out of two crosses. 

Callum Wilson - 6 

Looked lively in the box in an appearance too short to give him any real chances in front of goal.
