A James Chester own-goal gave Crystal Palace their first away win for 18 months at the KC Stadium.
Striker Jermaine Easter was originally credited with the goal but replays show that Chester's touch was crucial.
Easter lunged at a low cross from Jonathan Parr before Chester inadvertently turned the ball home.
Palace rise to 4th in the league after three straight victories, while Hull's second 1-0 home defeat of the season leaves them 20th on three points.
