Arthur drop goal gives Hull FC win over Catalans

BBC Sport · 3 hours ago

Jake Arthur kicked a match-winning drop goal in the final five minutes to earn Hull FC a dramatic 27-26 victory away to Catalans Dragons in Super League, in a game coached by Hull's former boss John Cartwright. The result matters most for Hull, who had won only once in their previous nine Super League matches, giving interim head coach Andy Last a much-needed lift after a difficult run of form.

Hull raced into an early lead through tries from Logan Moy and Lewis Martin before Catalans hit back with four tries of their own, from Charlie Staines, Kruise Leeming, Edenn Rogers-Smith and Leo Darrelatour, to take control of the match. Hull rallied late, with Harvie Hill and Aidan Sezer scoring tries to level the scores, before Arthur's decisive drop goal sealed the win. Last praised his side's resilience and singled out Arthur's composure in the crucial moment.

  • Jake Arthur's late drop goal won it for Hull FC, 27-26.
  • Hull fought back from behind against Catalans Dragons in France.
