GIFT OF GYAB

Deadly Darko gives Tigers big lift against rivals Boro

- 

DARKO GYABI'S early goal was enough to seal a victory for Hull at their promotion rivals - as the Tigers moved to within two points of Middlesbrough in the automatic places.

In a year that started with fears of relegation to League One for the Tigers, it ends with dreams of promotion to the Premier League.

The depleted visitors roared into a 12th-minute lead when Gyabi turned in at the near post from Kyle Joseph's cutback.

City had to withstand pressure late on, but were never really tested and saw out one of their most impressive victories of the campaign.
