Michael Dawson scored the only goal of the game on Tuesday to effectively end any UEFA Champions League hopes Liverpool had for next season.
The Hull City captain headed home in the 37th minute to lift the Tigers four points above the relegation zone. Meanwhile, the defeat saw the Anfield club remain seven points behind fourth-placed Manchester United in the chase for Europe's elite competition next season.
Even the handful of Liverpool fans in attendance at the KC Stadium could not argue that Hull did not deserve the three points after showing commendable spirit against a tired-looking Liverpool.
