The Championship side got the better of its Premier League opponents at the KC Stadium on Tuesday, with the midfielder netting the only goal of the game.
Swansea City was made to rue a series of missed first-half chances as David Meyler's goal sent a Hull City side boosted by Jake Livermore's return into round four of the League Cup on Tuesday.
Livermore was named in a much-changed Hull lineup, his first action since being cleared to play following a positive test for cocaine, and managed to get through 69 minutes before he was substituted to a standing ovation at the KC Stadium.
