Shota Arveladze was quick to praise the Hull City fans following their dramatic 2-1 win over Bristol City over the weekend.
The Tigers looked set to pick up a point in their Championship opener until new signing Jean Michael Seri powered in a deflected 94th-minute shot to secure the win - and Arveladze believed they had the supporters to thank.
He said: “We keep going because of the supporters – they help us a lot and give us extra energy, which sometimes you want to find in the last half an hour. That’s all together.
“We needed a result, energy, atmosphere – we needed everything. We needed a good start, this adrenaline, which we have to find.
“That was what the public create today – give us incredible huge energy for the whole season.”
