Hull players 'focused on the football' says David Meyler as crisis club enjoy superb start to Premier League return

David Meyler insists dealing with the summer turmoil at Hull has not been a problem for the Tigers' threadbare playing squad.

Hull lost Steve Bruce three weeks before the start of the season, with the manager frustrated by the owners' failure to strengthen a squad reduced to 13 senior players by injuries.

But they won 2-0 at Swansea on Saturday as substitute Shaun Maloney and Abel Hernandez struck in the final 12 minutes for a second straight Premier League win.

Considered as relegation fodder before a ball was kicked, Hull are now in the distinguished company of Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea as being the only sides with a 100 per cent record after two games.
