Second-half goals from Lazar Markovic and Sam Clucas gave 10-man Hull City three important points as they beat Watford 2-0 at the KCOM Stadium.
There was little to separate the two sides in the opening 45 minutes, but Tigers striker Oumar Niasse was shown a red card.
After the break, Hull took the lead thanks to Markovic. The winger had initially headed the ball onto the underside of the crossbar and while the Goal Decision System showed the ball was not in, he made sure with the rebound.
Ten minutes later, Watford cleared a corner as far as Clucas, who chested it down and unleashed a stunning volley into the top corner from 30 yards.
Hull, in 17th, are two points off the relegation zone after Swansea City's win, while Watford remain in 10th.
