Hull finally enjoyed the winning feeling again as they ended a six-game losing streak in the Premier League with a 2-1 success over Southampton.
The Tigers had endured a wretched run that left them without a win since August but goals from Robert Snodgrass and Michael Dawson in the space of two second-half minutes stopped the rot and gave boss Mike Phelan a first three points since being named permanent manager.
Whether the win was deserved is another matter, as Southampton controlled the majority of the game and Hull's goals came from their only two shots on target, but it was enough to see them draw level on points with 17th-placed West Brom.
