That's all from us this evening.

Hull City needed a little luck and a lot of effort to get the points at play-off rivals Sunderland and move back up to sixth thanks to Fabio Carvalho's deflected shot.

You can read the report from the game here.

We'll be back tomorrow from 12:15 GMT with Swansea v Southampton and then all the other second tier action.

Thanks for your company this evening.

Cheers!

Hull City had Fabio Carvalho, who has come in from Liverpool, and that was the difference.

Hull kept Sunderland as quiet as possible and then nicked a goal.

This was the biggest game of the season for Liam Rosenior, it's not been easy, but coming to Sunderland and keeping them quiet is brilliant.

It's a huge win that gets them back into the top six.

That's the first game of the EFL weekend done and dusted then.

Nine more Championship games for you tomorrow, starting with Russell Martin's return to his old club:

• Swansea City v Southampton (12:30 GMT)
• Blackburn Rovers v Huddersfield Town
• Bristol City v Watford
• Middlesbrough v Rotherham United
• Norwich City v West Bromwich Albion
• Plymouth Argyle v Cardiff City
• Queens Park Rangers v Millwall
• Sheffield Wednesday v Coventry City
• Stoke City v Birmingham City

Fittingly the match ends with Hull City manfully defending a Sunderland corner.

Huge three points for the Tigers that moves them back up to sixth after a sticky patch.

The game improved after a really poor first half and the away side took the lead against the run of play with 20 minutes to go when Fabio Carvalho's deflected shot gave him his first City goal.

Thereafter Sunderland huffed and puffed but never really looked like blowing Hull's house down.

It's just five goals in seven matches as Black Cats boss for Michael Beale now and the home fans let their feelings be known at the full time whistle.

Sunderland win another, ANOTHER late corner...

Up comes the keeper.

Oh dear.

Sunderland sent goalkeeper Anthony Patterson up but Hull repel he corner yet again.

The loose ball comes to dangerman Jack Clarke and he steps in off the left but swings an arms back into the face of Allahyar Sayyadmanesh.

The referee books the Sunderland man.

Sums up their night.

Sunderland have another late corner...

Jack Clarke hangs in a dangerous ball from the Sunderland left but Hemir can't get his head on it.

Into five minutes of time added on at the end of this.

Can Sunderland rescue something?

Another Hull booking.

This time it's Matty Jacob for timewasting.

Alex Pritchard's corner from the left causes a bit of panic at the back but Tigers keeper Ryan Allsop dives on the loose ball.

Allahyar Sayyadmanesh is on for the closing moments for the away side.

They can.

The Hull defence have been excellent tonight.

But the home side come again and win their 10th corner of the night.

Sunderland win another corner down their left.

Can Hull stand up to it?

Anywhere will do for the Tigers.

We're heading into the last five minutes and, if this stays as it is, they're heading back into the top six.

If Fabio Carvalho's goal is the only one in this game it will add insult to injury for Sunderland, in terms of recruitment.

It's all hands to the pump for Hull defensively.

Veteran striker Billy Sharp is basically playing as a defensive midfielder at the moment.

Goalscorer Fabio Carvalho is off and Sean McLoughlin is on.

Tigers keeper Ryan Allsop is in the book for timewasting.

Sunderland make a double change as they look to find a way back into this.

Abdoullah Ba and Timothee Pembele are on.

Pierre Ekwah thunders a shot high and wide for the home side.

The Black Cats fans let their feelings on how this game is going be known.

Sunderland bring on Hemir for Nazariy Rusyn up top.

They were planning to do this before the Tigers goal it should be said.

How many times have I said certain players can win you games when it is in the balance.

Yes, it took a deflection, but for Fabio Carvalho to get a shot away the way he did and then it goes into the corner. Instinctive.
