A brilliant first-half free-kick from Tigers playmaker Geovanni condemned Spurs to their third home defeat of the season.

The victory made it two wins in the capital in successive weekends for Hull after last Saturday's stunning victory at Arsenal.

Hull's wonderful start has now taken them to third place in the league table but of more immediate relevance was Tottenham's third home league defeat of the season which left them stranded rock bottom of the Premier League with just two points and had Hull fans revelling in their misery.

"You're getting sacked in the morning," they chanted as Ramos stood in statuesque silence on the touchline on a day which had begun with reports linking Terry Venables with a return to Spurs.

No confidence. No organisation. And precious little idea where the next league goal is coming from. It is difficult to see how the Tottenham crisis can be turned around without a change in the managerial team.

To add to the woes of Ramos striker Roman Pavlyuchenko limped off in the first half. Life at the Lane could hardly be more depressing.

Geovanni showed just why he has been an integral part of Hull's wonderful start.

He lined up a free-kick 25 yards out and this time sent the ball swirling over the wall and into the top corner of the Tottenham net with Heurelho Gomes rooted to his spot. It was a goal of real quality.

And it prompted euphoria blended with a spot of cruel fun and those `sack' chants from the Hull travelling faithful.
