Hull City stamp authority on League One table with win at Ipswich

Mallik Wilks slid home the opening goal after just two minutes and Josh Magennis doubled the Tigers' lead on the stroke of half-time.

Ipswich had started the day in third place but were made to look distinctly second best as Tom Eaves sealed Hull's third straight win in the 77th minute.

Grant McCann praised his side’s discipline and defensive organisation:

“We had to be disciplined. We came to a team that hadn’t lost here all season. They’d only conceded one goal, which was a penalty, in their last game against Shrewsbury.

“We knew we had to be good in terms of our defensive structure of the team. I thought we were excellent right from the start of the game to the last minute.

“The shape, the aggression in terms of our press, distances in the team were very good – that’s got us the result tonight.

“We’ve got players at the top end of the pitch who are in good form at this moment in time and can score goals and they’ve done it again for us tonight.”
