End of 2nd Half
90+4
That's full-time, 2-0 to Hull. They were under pressure for long periods but in truth Swansea didn't create enough clear-cut chances, whereas the visitors took theirs. After all the doom and gloom surrounding their summer, Hull have back-to-back wins to start a top flight campaign for the first time in their history.
90+2'
GOAL! Hernandez taps home after an unselfish square ball from Maloney, who in turn was played in by Snodgrass. A lovely move, and that's game over.
