Charlie Nicholas gives his verdict on the game between Swansea City and Hull City at the Liberty City Stadium

Newly-promoted Hull followed up their shock win over Leicester with a 2-0 victory against Swansea at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.

Substitute Shaun Maloney was the Tigers' match-winner, scoring the opening goal just six minutes after coming off the bench in the second half before setting up Abel Hernandez to make the result safe in stoppage time.

Hull were the bookmakers' favourites for relegation at the start of the campaign, but their second consecutive win keeps them third in the Premier League table, between heavyweights Manchester United and Chelsea.

As Hull celebrated another memorable victory, Swansea were left to reflect on their failure to convert a string of scoring chances in the first half. Francesco Guidolin's side beat Burnley 1-0 on the opening day, but defeat in their first home game leaves them 10th.
