Hull City 4-2 Middlesbrough

Hull City climbed out of the relegation zone as they came from behind to earn a crucial victory against relegation rivals Middlesbrough at the KCOM Stadium.

Alvaro Negredo put Middlesbrough ahead in just the fifth minute, sliding in to convert Adama Traore's cross.

But Hull equalised nine minutes later when Lazar Markovic scrambled the ball home following Andrew Robertson's deflected cross.

Marco Silva's side were then ahead on the 27th minute when Oumar Niasse coolly finished from Abel Hernandez's headed knock-down.

Six minutes later Abel Hernandez scored Hull's third, side-footing home from Kamil Grosicki's cross before Boro controversially pulled a goal back minutes before half-time.
