Hull City boss Marco Silva was delighted with their shock 2-0 win over Liverpool.

Goals from Alfred N'Diaye and Oumar Niasse sent the relegation-threatened Tigers on the way to a stunning triumph.

Silva hailed a growing belief within his squad that they can beat the drop but insisted he would not be getting carried away despite this week's four-point haul against Klopp's men and Manchester United.

Silva said: "Of course I'm happy with our performance - my team showed a fantastic attitude and fantastic spirit, and the important thing is to keep focus and continue to take more points.

"We need to keep sight of our goal because we have only won three points and nothing more. But this shows the players that this is the right way and they can believe. This is important because when the players don't believe it is impossible."

New boys N'Diaye and Kamil Grosicki played a significant part in the Tigers' success and Silva admitted he had handed the pair their full debuts earlier than he might have wished.

They took their places in the starting line-up four days after completing deadline day deals along with Italian Andrea Ranocchia, who was only upgraded from the bench after Michael Dawson sustained a calf injury in the warm-up.

Silva added: "I would have preferred to give our new signings more time to work with the team but we didn't have the time.

"N'Diaye and Grosicki only worked with me for two days and normally I wouldn't put them in the first 11, but we need these players to improve our squad. Of course I know that in the next games they will improve like all the other players."
