Hull City head coach Ruben Selles says the victory over Preston North End was 'simply massive' in their battle to avoid relegation.

Joe Gelhardt scored two second-half penalties as the Tigers came from a goal down to defeat North End.

With three of the four teams below them winning, Hull needed this result to maintain a two-point cushion above the relegation zone.
