Swansea City stopped the rot with a 2-0 victory over Stoke but remain in the bottom three of the Premier League.
Fernando Llorente's early header and a deflected Tom Carroll second-half strike gave Swansea their first win in seven games and lifted some of the gloom around the Liberty Stadium.
Swansea were given a huge helping hand when, with the score at 1-0, Marko Arnautovic blazed his 69th-minute penalty high over the crossbar and into the disbelieving Stoke supporters behind the goal.
But Hull remain two points clear of Swansea in 17th place after beating Watford by the same scoreline on Humberside.
