The midfielder struck from close range in injury time after Paul Dummett put the ball across the face of goal.
Alan Pardew: “As much as I was disappointed with what I did, the big talking point in the dressing room was Vurn actually scoring.
“That was a nice moment for us all. Vurn’s playing very well for us.
“They were two great performances in different ways.
“I couldn’t have asked for more from my players (against Hull).
“They all got nine out of 10 for me. They were absolutely brilliant.”
