Hull City rounded off their preparations for a first European campaign with a 1-1 draw against Barnsley at Oakwell yesterday in a game where goalkeeping errors led to both goals.

Shane Long put the Premier League side in front three minutes into the second half, charging down Adam Davies’s clearance, but their hosts equalised on the hour when goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic rushed out to try to head clear a long ball from Dale Jennings only for the ball to bounce over his head for Barnsley’s new signing Connor Hourihane to slot into an empty net.

Hull’s next match is their Europa League third qualifying round first leg against Trencin in Slovakia on Thursday.

Elsewhere, QPR ended their tour of Germany with a 2-0 defeat by Red Bull Leipzig at Stadion Der Freundschaft.

Rio Ferdinand and Steven Caulker made their debuts for Harry Redknapp’s men and trialist Jack Collison was also given a run-out but two second-half goals from Yussuf Poulsen proved to be the difference.

West Ham United will return home empty-handed from their pre-season tour of New Zealand after losing 3-1 to A-League side Sydney FC in Wellington.

It was West Ham’s second loss in three days after they were beaten 2-1 by Wellington Phoenix in Auckland on Wednesday.
