Steve Bruce is full of praise for Hull City's first half, but not happy at conceding in the second.

Hull City manager Steve Bruce has revealed his delight with his side's first-half showing in their 4-1 win against Millwall this afternoon.

Bruce, however, was keen to stress that he was not pleased with the way that Hull let Millwall back into the game in the second half.

"The first half was terrific, we played some really good football," Sky Sports News quotes Bruce as saying. "I think most teams would have struggled to play against us when we perform like that.

"If I'm going to be critical, the second half was exactly the opposite of what we wanted but, overall, I'm delighted with the win.

"We just came off the gas a little bit and, even when we went forward, we weren't as sharp. If we were, we could have scored five or six."

Hull are fourth in the Championship with three wins from three at home.
