Bruce: 'We didn't get the luck'

Hull City boss Steve Bruce believes that his side didn't get the run of the decisions in their FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal.

The Gunners came from two goals down to beat the Tigers 3-2 at Wembley, but Bruce was left to bemoan decisions that were crucial in the build-up to goals from Santi Cazorla and Laurent Koscielny.

Bruce told the club's official website: "We just needed that little bit of luck and decisions to go for us. There's a couple I'd like to see again – should it have been a free kick for Cazorla's goal?

"And the second one we're all thinking it was a goal kick. It's disappointing, but it was a fantastic show from us. We just ran out of juice in the end.

"There's no consolation in it [the display] though, we lost and so it's gone for me. It just wasn't to be."

Hull also finished in 16th place in the Premier League in their first season back in the top flight after four years.
