Phil Brown revealed that he had been furious with his players at half-time in their 2-1 victory over Arsenal.

Hull and Arsenal went into half-time with the score still goalless but Brown admits he was not happy because he had been targeting all three points.

The Tigers fell behind early in the second half but Geovanni equalised with a stunning goal and Daniel Cousin then clinched a famous win.

Brown believes the result is one of the greatest of his career and he has paid a glowing tribute to his troops.

"We picked a team to come here and cause them problems," Brown said.

"We have a drive, an endeavour and a belief that we can come to places and get a result.

Harsh

"I was disappointed with our display in the first half when we came off at 0-0 because I wanted to win.

"To say I was harsh in my criticism would be an understatement.

"It's one of my greatest results - Wembley and Newcastle were great but we're proving people wrong all the time."

Brown is delighted that Hull have already collected 11 points from six games and are currently sixth in the Premier League.

He added: "We've got the same number of points as Derby (achieved in all of last season) with 32 games left so it's a fantastic day!"
