HULL City head coach Sergej Jakirovic has told supporters it's OK to dream about automatic promotion, after the Tigers claimed a third win in a week, surviving a second-half recovery from Swansea City to claim a 2-1 victory.

First-half goals from Oli McBurnie and Regan Slater saw City hold a half time lead, before a dominant second half from the visitors changed the game.

Liam Cullen's header threatened to drag the visitors back into the contest, but Jakirovic's decision to change to a back five in the final stages was crucial in his side holding on.
