Chelsea showing can give us hope for rest of the season - Hull City's Robertson

Left-back Andrew Robertson has stated that Hull City's encouraging performance against Chelsea on Sunday has given renewed optimism to the Tigers.

?Despite putting in arguably their best performance of the season, Hull lost 3-2 to the league-leading Blues.

?The defeat has certainly left many disappointed but rather than dwelling on the setback, Scottish defender Robertson has stated that he is looking at the positives from the clash and added that if Hull can replicate such performances for the rest of the season, they will not have to worry about relegation.

?Robertson said: "We can take a lot of positives from that performance when you look at the strength of the opposition. We're still disappointed because at the end of the day we've not picked up any points.

?"At this stage of the season that's what we have to do. The only bonus is all the sides below us failed to pick up points so there's no damage done.

?"I'm not going to say we can play like that in all our remaining games, but if we show that type of character and commitment we'll be absolutely fine."?
