Hull City defender Liam Rosenior hailed his long-serving teammates for victory over Liverpool.
With this season's unpredictable campaign in the second tier offering further evidence of the dangers of going down, Hull's long-serving players have needed no extra drive as the pressure has mounted.
"Robbie Brady was outstanding against Liverpool. Stephen Quinn has come into the team and done brilliantly well. Paul McShane another," Rosenior told the Hull Daily Mail. "These are all lads who have been in the Championship and know how hard it is to get into the Premier League.
"It has been great for us to have that motivation and, hopefully, we can get a few more points on the board and stay in the Premier League."
