Hull boss to decide on Abel Hernandez penalty duties

Hull City manager Marco Silva says he has to decide what to do with his penalty-taker Abel Hernandez.

The Uruguayan striker had a very poor spot-kick saved by Marcus Bettinelli late in their eventual 4-1 FA Cup defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage.

As Hernandez attempted to recover the ball Bettinelli had saved, he was brought down by the goalkeeper, which resulted in another penalty.

Amazingly, the Cottagers gloveman saved again from the spot which is sure to have Silva scratching his head about who should take honour from 12 yards following the departure of Robert Snodgrass to West Ham United.

"We will see," he said.

"I need to think about it. It is a decision I will take for the next penalty."
