Hull boss Jakirovic looking at positives after Cup exit

Hull City manager Sergej Jakirovic says his players should take the positives from their defeat by Wrexham on penalties in their Carabao Cup first-round tie.

The game ended 3-3 when striker Ollie Palmer came on and scored two injury-time goals to force the shootout, which the Red Dragons won 5-3.

After failing to make round two, Jakirovic wants to look forward to Sunday's home game against Oxford United in the Championship (15:00 BST).

"The boys gave everything on the pitch, I think looking forwards it's good," Jakirovic told BBC Radio Humberside.

"I said to them to keep their heads up and that Sunday is a new game to look forward to.

"Thank you to the fans, I felt like we were playing at home, the atmosphere was great."
