Sergej Jakirovic urges promotion-chasing Hull to ‘enjoy this moment’

Hull City reached 50 points with their 15th Championship win, moving to fourth place and within five points of the top two with a game in hand, after three wins in a week.

  • On Saturday at the MKM Stadium, Hull City secured a 2-1 win over Swansea City, marking their third victory in a week and moving them to fourth, five points off the top two with a game in hand.
  • Key missed chances by the visitors left Hull with a cushion as Ben Cabango's handball led to a penalty converted by Oli McBurnie, and Regan Slater struck a long-range drive before half-time.
  • Hull's rearguard stood firm under heavy Swansea pressure as Ivor Pandur, Hull City goalkeeper, made crucial second-half saves and John Egan, Hull City defender, produced last-ditch interventions.
  • Since December, Hull City have amassed the league's best points haul in nine second‑tier games and won six of their last eight league matches, boosting their momentum.
  • With belief high, Hull City head coach Sergej Jakirovic told Hull supporters `We have to enjoy this moment and just continue like this.` and added `Maybe you can dream about second place`, Hull Live reported.
