Hull City climbed out of the relegation zone with a 3-1 win at Sunderland , their
first success in 11 Premier League games.
Steve Bruce's men travelled to his former club looking for their first win since
October, having scored just twice in their last nine outings.
The misery looked set to continue when Adam Johnson, who scored a last-
gasp winner as Sunderland beat Newcastle United last time out, capitalised on
a defensive error to give the hosts the lead after just 29 seconds.
However, Gaston Ramirez equalised in the 32nd minute with his maiden goal
for Hull - the Yorkshire club's first in the league since December 3 - and
James Chester headed home shortly after half-time.
Substitute Nikica Jelavic then added a third in stoppage time to wrap up a
valuable win and lift Hull up to 17th.
The triumph - Hull's fourth in a row against Sunderland - also eases the
pressure on Northumberland-born Bruce, who occupied the Stadium of
Light hotseat between 2009 and 2011.
