Mallik Wilks scored twice as Hull City returned to winning ways with a convincing victory at Rochdale.
The 21-year-old put the Tigers ahead on 20 minutes with a bullet header from Callum Elder’s corner.
He doubled the lead 17 minutes from time with a well-taken volley and Josh Magennis made it 3-0 moments later with a close-range header.
Grant McCann made three changes to the side beaten by Fleetwood eight days ago.
Jacob Greaves came in for his Tigers league debut, with fit-again captain Richie Smallwood returning in midfield and Magennis, back from international duty, starting up front.
