Hull City head coach Marco Silva was grateful his players overcame first-half nerves to secure a crucial home win against Premier League relegation rivals Swansea City.
Tigers substitute Oumar Niasse struck twice after stepping off the bench in the second half before Swansea defender Alfie Mawson's stoppage-time header ensured an anxious finale.
Silva's side held on to secure their first league win in four matches and climbed to within three points of the Welsh club.
'The first half was a very balanced game,' said Silva, whose side registered their third league win since he replaced Mike Phelan in early January.
