Robinho, drafted in by the Eastlands side for #32.5million after his compatriot's release on a free transfer, was lively but overshadowed by team-mate Stephen Ireland who grabbed both the visitors' goals.

Two horrendous defensive gaffes, from Tal Ben-Haim and Kamil Zayatte, made it 1-1 before a sublime second from Ireland and Geovanni's deflected free-kick cancelled each other out.

Hull were ahead after 14 minutes when Micah Richards rolled the ball to defensive partner Ben Haim and, with only Cousin in attendance and minimal pressure on, the Israeli inexplicably played the striker in six yards from goal.

Cousin slotted home with ease, while keeper Joe Hart was left injured on the turf.

He limped off minutes later, all but ensuring his withdrawal from the England squad, with Kasper Schmeichel his replacement.

After 37 minutes, Zayatte produced the second horrific defensive error of the match.

Robinho's through ball missed every blue shirt and was collected with ease by Zayatte who played the ball back across his own goal and into the path of Ireland, who tapped into an open net.

The midfielder had his second before the half was out, taking Garrido's square ball on his instep before curling his shot expertly beyond Myhill.

With an hour gone, Geovanni lined up a free-kick 25 yards from goal and directly in front of the posts. His shot took a heavy deflection off Vincent Kompany in the wall, leaving Schmeichel floundering and earning him a sixth Premier League goal of the season.
