Hull ended a run of nine Sky Bet Championship games without a win as they notched a rare success on the road, 2-0 at Nottingham Forest.
Forest's last win over Hull at the City Ground had come in 1977, when Brian Clough was in charge - and they rarely looked like emerging triumphant against Nigel Adkins' side, from the moment the visitors took the lead in the ninth minute.
That goal came via a Jon Toral header - less than a minute after he had seen a penalty saved by Costel Pantilimon - with Harry Wilson sliding home the second in the 38th minute.
