Hull climbed out of the bottom three of the Premier League and shoved Middlesbrough closer towards relegation with a thrilling 4-2 win at the KCOM Stadium.
Oumar Niasse and Abel Hernandez gave Hull a two-goal cushion after team-mate Lazar Markovic had cancelled out Alvaro Negredo's early opener for Middlesbrough in a breath-taking first 45 minutes.
Boro hit back in first-half stoppage-time through Marten De Roon's controversial header before Harry Maguire headed Hull's fourth midway through the second period.
Victory was the Tigers' fifth in six home league games and lifted them two points above Swansea, while Boro, without a league win since December 17, appear destined for a return to the Sky Bet Championship.
The Teessiders played their full part in a pulsating encounter, but are now seven points adrift of safety with eight games remaining.
