HITTING THE SPOT: McBurnie scores his penalty

The Tigers were tipped by many to be in a relegation battle this term, yet sit fourth on 50 points just five points off the automatic promotion spots with a game in hand on secondplaced Middlesbrough.

City racked up a third win in a week as Oli McBurnie's spot-kick and a Regan Slater rocket either side of a pair of big Zan Vipotnik misses for Swansea put the hosts in control at the break.

The tiring Tigers had to dig deep in the second half to stop the visitors adding to Liam Cullen's header as they followed up last Saturday's win at Southampton and the midweek victory at Preston.
