Hull 2-0 Swansea: Abel Hernandez and Josh Tymon strike late to hand new boss Marco Silva victory

Daily Mail | January 7, 2017

There is nothing like the return of a goalscoring hero to lift the spirits, especially when the player in question turns out to be a saviour again.

Abel Hernandez of Hull and Uruguay put a two-month injury lay-off behind him by stepping off the bench and settling this third round Cup tie.

Wham, bam, the corner flag was given its customary karate kick beating after Hernandez combined with fellow sub Shaun Maloney to show he is fully recovered from hernia surgery.
