Michael Dawson hails "massive" win for Hull City

Hull City centre-back Michael Dawson has hailed his side's 2-0 victory over Aston Villa as a "massive" result.

Steve Bruce's men claimed all three Premier League points with victory at the KC Stadium, thanks to goals from Nikica Jelavic and Dame N'Doye.

"It was massive. The two boys up front set the tone and we couldn't have asked for any more," said Dawson, according to BBC Sport.

"We've got big games coming up and if we perform like that on a weekly basis, we'll be OK.

"We've shown grit and determination and when we get the ball into those two up front, they're unplayable."

The Tigers now hold 15th spot in the Premier League standings on 23 points.
