Kamil Grosicki was the Tiger responsible, the Polish winger curling a sixth minute free-kick over the wall and against the post.

Fraser Forster was rooted to the spot and the Saints goalkeeper was similarly unemployed for the rest of the half despite Hull playing the better football.

Oumar Niasse, played through by Ahmed Elmohamady, did look to have a sight of goal but Saints got back to snuff out the danger.

The best Saints could muster was a neat move that ended with Manolo Gabbiadini having a shot charged down by Sam Clucas.
