Swansea City saw their faint play-off hopes extinguished after being held to a draw by Hull City at the MKM Stadium. Ben Cabango's own goal gave the hosts an early lead, before Luke Cundle restored parity after rounding off a brilliant team move shortly before half-time.

Allahyar then smashed an effort off the woodwork as the hosts looked to restore their advantage, but neither side could find a second breakthrough.

Martin chose an unchanged matchday squad for the trip to Humberside, picking the same XI that so brilliantly dismantled Norwich City last week, But their hopes of repeating those heroics were dealt a bodyblow after just four minutes.

A cross-field ball found Harry Vaughan in acres of space out wide on the left, with the winger racing away to the byline before pulling back for Ozan Tufan, before Cabango touched the ball through the legs of Swans goalkeeper Andy Fisher and into his own net.
