Matt Crooks scored a brilliant first goal from distance to give Hull the lead, and they added to it with a goal from substitute Matty Jacob and a Harrison Burrows own goal brought about by a run from another who came off the bench, Joao Pedro.
“I think that’s a statement performance, the victory comes with the performance,” said Selles after his fourth win as Hull coach.
“I think we were very solid with the things we did today. I know there are some good things in my team and I expected my team to have character and play in the way we wanted. We saw these things today.
“We have been talking about getting the key moments of the game on our side and I think that’s what we did. Sometimes when you play a really good team, if you just come with the initiative of just being low and waiting for things to happen you are not going to get anything
“We showed we can press them higher in the pitch but they have quality and sometimes they break our pressure so we have to go lower to defend.
“We did it excellently and we took our moments and showed a robustness I really liked.
