Swansea City Net Twice To Defeat Hull City<\/h2>\n

Quickfire Goals As Swans Tame Tigers<\/h3>\n

Hull had led after just three minutes through Daniel Batty<\/a>. Polish international Kamil Grosicki<\/a> provided the all-important delivery before Batty flicked it over the line to net his first EFL career goal.<\/p>\n

Swansea fought back though and Borja netted his first goal in almost three years to level the scores.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard netted just his second goal for the Swans with an instinctive header from Nathan Dyer<\/a>‘s deflected cross.<\/p>\n

Moments later Swansea were ahead. Jake Bidwell<\/a>‘s cross rebounded off the crossbar to Dyer whose delivery was headed home by Van der Hoorn at the near post.<\/p>\n

Hull had opportunities to level late on, but Jackson Irvine<\/a> headed over and Kevin Stewart<\/a> dragged wide.<\/p>\n

Steve Cooper ‘Delighted’ With Winning Start<\/h3>\n

Steve Cooper claimed three points in his first game in club football thanks to two goals in two minutes.<\/p>\n

The former England Under-17 coach watched as his side produced an impressive revival to beat Hull City.<\/p>\n

“I’m delighted to get the three points and we were good for it in the end.” he said to BBC Sport Wales<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Going 1-0 down at home is never an easy scenario, especially in the first game of the season. But I thought the fans were brilliant after that goal.<\/p>\n

“We controlled all of the game but we didn’t play to the levels we want to play to in the first half – we could have been a lot firmer with our attacking play.<\/p>\n

“That was the message at half-time – we are doing okay, but let’s show we are better than that. The players got back to the levels in the second half.”<\/p>\n
