Swansea City v Hull City - live updates (WalesOnline)

Follow live updates from the Championship clash between the Swans and the Tigers right here.

Naughton did well to pick out Cundle who beautifully flicked into the path of Piroe whose shot was well blocked by Callum Elder. But they finally got the breakthrough they deserved in the 61st minute as Sorinola cut on to his left foot before picking out Manning at the back post to volley home. And Piroe notched his fourth goal of the campaign late on to ensure Swansea went into the international break with a morale-boosting win to celebrate. Swansea were in complete control by this point, and the lively Ollie Cooper was unfortunate not to bulge the net after having a shot saved by Nathan Baxter before seeing his follow-up effort take a deflection. And it got better for Swansea three minutes later as they were gifted a second goal. Naughton also took a knock for his troubles after heading clear, and the disruptions dampened what had been a lively opening. But the hosts had clearly done their homework and looked to inflict further misery on Shota Arveladze's side who had conceded 15 times in their previous five matches. Piroe was then unable to make firm contact with Manning's corner before Ben Cabango's follow-up effort was blocked by Tobias Figueiredo. But the hosts maintained their high intensity and took the lead through Ryan Manning's volley just after the hour mark. Hull failed to clear their lines after challenging Cooper in their own box, and the ball fell into the path of Cundle who tapped home his first Swansea goal after a mix-up between goalkeeper Baxter and Tobias Figueiredo. The Swans hit back though and were once again denied by the frame of the Hull goal as Cundle cut on to his left foot before drilling against the crossbar. The Tigers - who went into the match on the back of three successive defeats - looked to start on the front foot in the south Wales sunshine and saw Jean Michael Seri drive at goal from distance, although Steven Benda was alert to tip the effort over the crossbar.

Ryan Manning on the mark as Michael Obafemi makes cameo in ... (Irish Examiner)

Swansea scored three times after the break to defeat Hull 3-0 and claim only their third win of the Sky Bet Championship season.

Obafemi -- at the centre of a disagreement between Stephen Kenny and his club boss -- got on late on in the game. Up to that point the veteran midfielder had helped the hoe side dominate possession and create a number of chances. Swansea continued to press forward and, in added time at the end of the first half, Baxter got his fingertips to a thunderous left-footed shot from Piroe that he somehow managed to turn onto the bar and away.

Allen was hurt in a tackle in the centre circle and left the field to be replaced by Cundle.
