Hull City manager Phil Brown was ecstatic after seeing his side fight back from a goal down to secure a 2-1 victory at home to Middlesbrough.

The Tigers fell behind 11 minutes from time at the KC Stadium, but roared back to claim the three points thanks to an own goal and a controversial Marlon King penalty.

Afterwards, Brown beamed: "All season we'll be complaining about referees and decisions, last week it didn't go for us but this week it did.

"It is a fabulous day for us. We were disappointed to go a goal behind, but that probably puts us top of the league at going a goal behind and getting something from the game.

"I have nothing but admiration for the lads.

"They have got a tremendous togetherness and never-say-die attitude and I can't ask for any more than that, apart from playing better football.

"It was important that we got the win to cement our position in the top six. That is a lovely phrase to come out with at this stage of the season."
