Jozy Altidore assist and draws penalty

Jozy Altidore returned to action for Hull City this week after being given time off due to family members affected by the Haiti earthquake. He was quick to make an impact, delivering an assist to Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink (what a name!) in the 11th minute. He followed up a good bit of play early in the second half drawing a penalty which Hull’s Stephen Hunt converted.

Check out the highlights.

What do you think? The assist anything to write home about? Feel the penalty call was a little weak? I do. But the assist was class. You can’t see it in the video, but Altidore had to take the ball down while shielding off a defender with his body. The work forced another defender to cover and opened Vennegoor of Hesselink to an easy finish.
