Marlon King stunned former club Hull as Middlesbrough snatched three vital points in their Barclays Premier League survival fight.
Didn't we used to be mates? Marlon King gives ex-Boro colleague Kamil Zayatte no favours
King, who left Hull after falling out with manager Phil Brown in January, scored with two minutes remaining to secure a crucial victory at the Riverside Stadium.
Tuncay Sanli and Matthew Bates were also on target for Boro, either side of a Manucho equaliser.
With manager Gareth Southgate sensing King might have a point to prove, the on-loan Wigan forward was drafted into an attacking line-up to complement Tuncay, Afonso Alves and Jeremie Aliadiere.
Despite having the least prolific attack in the Premier League and his side being five points adrift of safety, Southgate's intentions were clear from the outset.
The bold approach made for a fast and open game with both sides committed to throwing men forward.
