Swansea City 0 Hull City 2: Maloney stars from the bench

Hull City maintained their 100 per cent start to the new Premier League season by winning 2-0 at Swansea City on Saturday.

Shaun Maloney came off the bench to play a starring role as Hull City maintained their winning start to the Premier League season with a 2-0 victory at Swansea City on Saturday.

Introduced as a 73rd-minute replacement for Adama Diomande, the Scotland international broke the deadlock before setting up Abel Hernandez for a second goal that wrapped up the three points.

The result will enhance caretaker manager Mike Phelan's chances of taking the job on a permanent basis after he masterminded a win against champions Leicester City last weekend.
