The Swans had the better of the openings but Eldin Jakupovic saved from Wayne Routledge and Fernando Llorent was unable to divert a Gylfi Sigurdsson free-kick past the Tigers goalkeeper.

Hull’s best moment in the first half came six minutes before the break when a lovely floated chip pass by Huddlestone released Kamil Grosicki.

He, in turn, lofted the ball across the area for the on-rushing Abel Hernandez but Lukasz Fabianski punched clear under huge pressure from the Uruguayan.

Niasse broke the deadlock on 69 minutes, before adding a second five minutes later.
