    Hull boss Steve Bruce tells Sky Sports: "That little bit of quality, to decide a big game, Diame has produced a bit of magic and it's won us the match.

    "We seemed to have so many good chances. Thankfully Diame has come up with a wonder striker and I'm delighted for him.

    "I thought we had the better chances - my big players today performed excellently."

    It's the right result, there was a definite gulf in class between the two teams on the day. Maybe Wednesday didn't play to their potential or the occasion got them a little bit, but credit to Hull - they played the game brilliantly and deserved the win.

    Sheffield Wednesday weren't good enough, it's as simple as that. Very rarely do you see backing like they got from the fans, but the team aren't good enough. Hull were a different class today.

    The Owls have a chance for a long throw into the box - Lucas Joao has a shot at goal - did it hit a hand? The referee says no. Now they win a corner, Hull are not over the line yet!

    Eldin Jakupovic is back up and play resumes. Hull then win a free-kick near the halfway line. Is time up for the Owls? They might not get time for another attack.

    Sheffield Wednesday head coach Carlos Carvalhal looks extremely frustrated on the touchline. His side are surely out of time. Hull's fans are singing loud and proud now.

    A high Sheffield Wednesday ball, launched into the box, is bravely claimed by Eldin Jakupovic, who is hurt as he jumps for the ball. He goes down clutching his head, so play stops.

    I don't think at any stage you can say Sheffield Wednesday have deserved to win this game. Hull have been the better side - as it stands, this is the right result.

    Hull City 1-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    Keiren Westwood makes a hash of a clearance, which helps Hull wind down the clock a tad more.

    The Owls are running out of time - they need to get the ball forward.

    And Steve Bruce brings off goal scorer Mohamed Diame for Harry Maguire. Do Hull think they've won it?

  19. SUBSTITUTION (Sheffield Wednesday)published at 87 mins

    Hull City 1-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    Hull win a free-kick in the Sheffield Wednesday half and they have the ball exactly where they want it. It was a needless challenge from Daniel Pudil that merely helps Hull waste a bit more time.

    And that is Pudil's last act as he is replaced by Owls striker Lucas Joao - a very attacking substitution as the Owls now have four forwards on the field. Well, it's now or never...

  20. SUBSTITUTION (Hull City)published at 85 mins

    Hull City 1-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    Fernando Forestieri finds room in the left corner of the Hull penalty area but his cut-back can't quite find a Sheffield Wednesday player.

    Moments later, Hull's top scorer Abel Hernandez is replaced by David Meyler.
