The Tigers took a deserved lead before the break when Allahyar Sayyadmanesh headed home Adama Traore’s near post corner. Hayden Hackney levelled for the hosts with a composed finish from sub Isaiah Jones’ low centre and Cameron Archer quickly slotted them into the lead when the Hull defence failed to deal with a long ball up the pitch. Championship top scorer Chuba Akpom then slammed home his side’s third and his 29th goal of the campaign to secure the points against a shell-shocked Tigers. Akpom has now scored in nine successive home matches and Middlesbrough had chances to score more goals, but three was enough and their attention will now turn to a huge game at third-placed Luton Town on Monday. This was a first defeat in six for Hull, who now host out-of-sorts Watford on Saturday.
