Anis Mehmeti matched the brilliance of Connolly’s goal with a similar effort to equalise after 77 minutes. And after Hull lost goalkeeper Ryan Allsop to injury after 82 minutes, Knight beat his replacement Matt Ingram to settle the outcome.

Manning joked that he had aged ten years during the previous home win over Sunderland and again has his emotions put through the mincer.
