Folan converted a cross from fellow substitute Craig Fagan nine minutes from time to complete a gutsy comeback from Hull, who fell behind to a Seol Ki-Hyeon header after eight minutes.

Brazilian Geovanni equalised with a tremendous long-range strike before the break, and Hull deservedly claimed the points thanks to Folan's calm finish.

Fulham created the first opportunity after Seol out-sprinted Michael Turner on the left, but Simon Davies was unable to convert the cross.

Hull's Richard Garcia headed Andy Dawson's left flank centre across goal, but debutant Mark Schwarzer produced a superb save to claw away Geovanni's goalbound header. Schwarzer then recovered well to scramble clear Ian Ashbee's follow-up.

And Fulham took the lead as Jimmy Bullard crossed from the right and Seol burst into the penalty area to beat Bo Myhill with an angled header.

But Hull soon levelled as Geovanni cut inside from the right flank and curled a shot into the left corner from 20 yards.

Zoltan Gera then wasted an excellent opportunity for the visitors within two minutes of the restart when he scuffed the ball harmlessly wide from 10 yards.

George Boateng had to be alert to block a shot from Bullard and then Garcia forced Schwarzer into a fine low save.

And Hull claimed the points as Fagan robbed the hesitant Paul Konchesky near the byline and unselfishly squared for Folan to slide the ball into an empty net to secure a dramatic win.
