Match Report
Hull FC held off a Salford Red Devils fightback to cling onto a 35-32 victory, despite finishing the match with 11 men.
The hosts raced into an 18-0 lead inside 14 minutes thanks to converted tries from Albert Kelly, Jake Connor and Mark Minichiello. Wakefield loanee Pauli Pauli got Salford on the scoreboard before Kelly jinked his way over for a second score.
Jake Bibby and Jamie Shaul traded tries as Hull held a 28-12 half-time lead, but the visitors cut into the deficit with Robert Lui's touchdown three minutes after the restart.
Former Red Devil Marc Sneyd, who finished with 11 points, added a drop-goal before Ratu Naulago raced clear to put Hull 35-16 up with 15 minutes remaining.
However, Pauli Pauli crashed over before Hull prop Chris Green and Salford counterpart Adam Walker finished the match in the sin-bin and home centre Josh Griffin was sent off for a dangerous tackle.
Bibby and Niall Evalds in quick succession to set up a nervy finale, but Hull held on to move level with third-placed Catalans Dragons in the Betfred Super League table.
