Hull City 0-2 Stoke City: Potters boost survival hopes by beating Tigers

Stoke City moved five points above the Championship relegation zone with an impressive victory at play-off chasing Hull City.

Potters skipper Josh Laurent opened the scoring and Ki-Jana Hoever added a clincher in added time to give the Potters consecutive away wins.

The defeat damaged Hull's hopes of reviving their push for a play-off place and they are now winless in five matches and six points outside the top six.

Liam Rosenior's Tigers failed to get going against a solid, hard-working Stoke outfit who deserved their win.

Ninth-placed Hull went into the game badly needing three points after four straight draws had seen teams above them pull away, while Stoke are among a cluster of sides battling relegation.
