Jozy's First EPL Match Highlights

Jozy gets Assist in EPL Debut

After coming on in the 60th min. for Hull City, American striker Jozy Altidore made his first touch count. He flicked a nice ball over the top of Bolton's back line to Algerian midfielder teammate Kamel Ghilas who slotted it home in the 61st min. to give Hull a 1-0 lead. Altidore stayed busy and perhaps should have scored himself, failing to chip the 'keeper before seeing another effort saved and partner in crime Ghilas blast over. The match finished 1-0 and Hull got their first points of the season.
