Hull City are out of the Premier League relegation zone after beating Middlesbrough 4-2 in a thriller.

Harry Maguire produced a superb captain's performance as Hull City moved out of the bottom three with a thrilling 4-2 Premier League win over Middlesbrough.

Manager Marco Silva's run of 39 home league games without defeat, which stretches back to March 2014 with Estoril, appeared under threat when Alvaro Negredo gave Boro a fifth-minute lead.

However, it was extended to 40 in a pulsating contest at the KCOM Stadium, Lazar Markovic's first Hull goal and an Oumar Niasse strike turning the game on its head.

Maguire had a huge hand in Hull's third goal, converted by Abel Hernandez, but Middlesbrough pulled one back before half-time, though Marten de Roon's effort should have been disallowed for offside.
