Hull City 1-0 Millwall: Adama Traore downs play-off contenders Millwall

Hull City virtually assured their place in the Championship for next season with a home victory over play-off contenders Millwall.

The Lions had the better of the first-half chances, with winger Oliver Burke hitting the underside of the crossbar from Zian Flemming's cut-back.

Half-time substitute Adama Traore broke the deadlock to put the Tigers ahead with 20 minutes left when his long-range strike bounced into the bottom left-hand corner.

The visitors almost grabbed an equaliser when Tom Bradshaw had a close-range effort blocked and Billy Mitchell fired narrowly wide on the rebound, while Hull goalkeeper Karl Darlow palmed away a curling Flemming shot in the closing stages.
