Full time: Hull City 0-3 Manchester City
Second half strikes from Yaya Toure, Kelechi Iheanacho and a Curtis Davies own goal earned City's third consecutive victory and put them within seven points of league leaders, Chelsea. Hull made life very hard for the title contenders and kept City at bay for the majority of proceedings but City's class shone through in the second half after a difficult start at the KCOM stadium.
