#5 Oumar Niasse and Abel Hernandez’s goals crucial for Hull
Trending
With Hull top-scorer Robert Snodgrass looking increasingly likely to head for the exit door during this transfer window, they desperately need other players to get goals if they are to rack up the points they need to beat the drop.
Oumar Niasse definitely showed that he is capable of that, losing his marker to meet David Meyler’s cross to restore Hull’s lead on the night. Abel Hernandez – who recently returned after an injury layoff – is a natural striker and he will have the responsibility of delivering the goals by running in behind opposition defences, which he managed to do on a couple of occasions since coming on.
Marco Silva will be hopeful that the duo can take off from impressive performances at the KCOM stadium on Thursday night and raise their game to help Hull keep in touch with their relegation counterparts.
