Tom Huddlestone apologises for penalty gaffe

Hull City midfielder Tom Huddlestone has described his failure to score an away goal for his side in their Europa League clash at Trencin as "ridiculous".

Huddlestone saw his spot kick saved before he blazed the subsequent rebound over the crossbar from two yards as the Tigers recorded a 0-0 draw in Slovakia in their first match in European competition.

Can only apologise to every for a lapse in concentration and thinking I had scored the rebound before I had. Ridiculous on my behalf

The second leg of the third qualifying-round encounter takes place at the KC Stadium next Thursday.
