Greg Docherty produced a stunning piece of magic as Hull City picked up three points on the road at Blackpool.
The former Rangers star is plying his trade in the English Championship and after struggling for starts, he was pitched in from the off at Bloomfield Road to make it back to back 90 minutes for the midfielder. He rewarded the faith in naming him in the starting team with a stunning goal to make it 2-1 on the night. The visitors eventually ran out winners by three goals to one after strikes from Ryan Longman, Docherty and Regan Slater.
It was a big win for the Tigers who moved up to 19th in the table - three points above the bottom three. Blackpool move down to 21st and one point behind Docherty- who also played for Hamilton and Hibs - and Co after the loss. Next up is Rotherham on the road before two home games against Blackburn Rovers and Middlesbrough. Speaking about the win, Andy Dawson said: “I’m really pleased for the boys – they fully deserved it.

“We’ve been at it in games previously. The difficult thing for me is we never got the result and we didn’t do it for long enough in games.
“Today was probably the complete performance – we got 98 minutes – from minute one to minute 98.
“That goes to show the consistent message we’ve been saying. They’ve trusted us and we’ve got our rewards.
“They worked extremely hard, individually and collectively. Some of the football we played was really pleasing, second half probably a bit more than the first half.
“I thought they did a good job on us in the first half – they were compact and organised. Second half, when we could play forward, we found certain gaps.
“I was delighted for the boys because that will give them confidence.”
