Steve Bruce: 'Win gives us belief'

Hull City boss Steve Bruce has said that his side's 3-1 victory over Liverpool this afternoon will provide his players with the extra belief required to stay in the Premier League.

The Tigers produced an inspired performance to beat the visiting Reds, with Jake Livermore, David Meyler and an own goal from Martin Skrtel helping to give them victory.

"For me personally beating Sunderland and beating Newcastle [are the best results] but it's another three points," Bruce told Sky Sports News.

"But what it does do, it gives the players a bit more belief. Some of them haven't played a lot in the Premier League and what they need is results like today to give them that belief that they can play at this level.

"We disappointed ourselves last week so you needed a response. So it was a big game in that respect."

Hull find themselves in 10th position in the Premier League table following their victory.
