Newcastle missed a series of first-half chances, while Dwight Gayle forced a save from Hull goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic.

But Hull fought back in the second half on a terrible pitch.

The home side had Dieumerci Mbokani sent off in the 89th minute for a clash with Jamaal Lascelles.

United went on to take the lead in the 98th minute through former Hull midfielder Diame, who didn't celebrate the goal against his former club.
