Hull City defender John Egan believes getting a point away at Swansea will be the beginning of a Tigers improvement in the Championship this season.
The Tigers drew 2-2 with the Swans courtesy of Egan's 97th-minute goal to pick up their fifth point of the season.
"It's important to come away from home and get results - it's a long season, every point is so important," Egan told BBC Radio Humberside.
Before the international break, Hull City had lost two games on the bounce.
In six games this season, including the Carabao Cup defeat at Wrexham, they have conceded 14 goals and only managed one clean sheet in the 0-0 draw at Coventry City in their opener.
