Kyle Joseph made one goal and scored another as play-off chasing Hull City came from behind to beat relegated Sheffield Wednesday.
An Owls side now without a win in 33 league games had the better of the first half and went ahead on 23 minutes when Jamal Lowe’s deflected effort found the back of the net.
But a nervy Tigers side, who had lost three of their past four Championship fixtures, were only behind for 94 seconds as Joseph’s sweet low cross was calmly tapped in by midfielder Matt Crooks.
Six minutes into first-half injury-time the hosts went ahead when Domnic Iorfa could only flick Paddy McNair’s free-kick into his own net.
The victory was sealed when Joseph netted his eighth goal of the season with a cool finish from Oli McBurnie’s pass
And Hull had very little trouble seeing out a result which keeps them in fifth place, but now within three points of both Ipswich Town and Millwall who are third and fourth respectively following their 1-1 draw.
It also means the Tigers keep alive slim hopes of sneaking into the second automatic promotion place as the gap to Middlesbrough in second is now down to five points following Boro’s 0-0 draw against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.
