Grant McCann was delighted with the way his Hull City side executed the game plan in the 3-1 win at MK Dons.
A brace from Josh Magennis and a header from substitute James Scott secured a fifth consecutive win in all competitions and moved the Tigers top of League One.
“It’s a good win,” said McCann.
“We knew they were a good team in terms of the way they pass the ball and play.
“We had to set traps in the game and try to force them into areas where we could try and counter and break on them.
