The most important win of Hull City's season? Without question. Just as belief was threatening to fall into the crevice opening up between the Tigers and safety, Marco Silva's men delivered the victory that had been so desperately needed. Oumar Niasse emerged off the bench in the second half to plunder two clinical finishes, lighting up an otherwise mundane fixture.
Swansea City responded in stoppage time but the damage had been done by the smiling assassin, Niasse. The Tigers are back to within a point of safety and have clawed Swansea and Leicester back into the mix.
Positives
Niasse was outstanding after his introduction as a 63rd minute substitute.
