Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna was in calm mood after his 100th win in charge took the Tractor Boys to within three points of the automatic promotion places in the Championship.
Azor Matusiwa's fine strike beat Hull to put McKenna firmly in the hunt for a third promotion at the club.
He told BBC Radio Suffolk: "When you win a game with a goal like that at this stage of the season it always feels big. That's three wins in a row with clean sheets. We had to overcome a compact side who made it really hard for us.
"We defended well and limited them to nothing, and then we scored a brilliant goal. He's having a fantastic season and you need your holding midfielder to do that at some point in a season.
"It's going to take a healthy points total to go up, and we'll take the momentum from tonight. I'm sure we won't win all of our games and neither will the other teams up there - we can only tick off good performances and good results."
