Hull move out of the Championship relegation zone as Jake Cooper's unfortunate own goal gives them victory over Millwall.

Hull City won 1-0 at Millwall thanks to a Jake Cooper own goal in one of Saturday’s early kick-offs. It was just the response the Tigers needed after being dumped out of the FA Cup by League Two Doncaster last Sunday as they gave their survival hopes a real boost.

It was not a good match in general terms. Few emotions and scoring chances. Hull City didn't do much to win the game, but they were smart and were able to hold on.

Follow live coverage as Millwall face Hull City in the Championship today. An increasingly competitive second tier in English football remains an intense and exciting competition, with the prize of a place in the Premier League on offer at the end of the season.
