Hull strike twice before the break to stay fourth

Hull City beat Swansea City 2-1 to make it three league wins on the spin and stay fourth at the MKM Stadium.

Oliver McBurnie converted from the spot in the 24th minute after Ben Cabango handled. Regan Slater then rifled in from outside the box to double the lead (39.).

Lawrence Vigouroux kept Swansea City in it with sharp stops from Joe Gelhardt and Liam Millar before the interval. After the restart, Ivor Pandur denied Liam Cullen with a low save as the visitors pressed.

Swansea City halved the deficit when Cullen glanced in Josh Tymon's cross following a corner (59.). Tymon's deliveries continued to ask questions, but the final touch was missing.

Hull posted seven shots on target from 10 attempts despite 29.9% possession. Swansea City saw 70.1% of the ball and tallied 16 attempts, testing Pandur only four times.
