Hull City beat Reading 2-1 on Wednesday night with Jake Livermore notching a last-minute winner.

Hull City fans have raved about the performance Jake Livermore put in against Reading yesterday evening.

The Tigers beat the Royals 2-1 at the KC Stadium on Wednesday, but they were made to work very hard for the three points.

Reading had taken the lead when Nick Blackman scored an absolute screamer in the first half, but Steve Bruce’s men proved why they are promotion contenders in the second period.

Hull battled their way back into the match and they scored through Abel Hernandez just after the hour mark.

Not satisfied with just a point Hull kept pushing, and they got the reward for their effort when Livermore smashed home in the final minute.

Hull’s win has lifted them to within two points of top of the table Middlesbrough, but it would not have been possible without Livermore.

The central midfielder was combative, energetic and ruthless throughout, and his performance was very impressive.

Here is the best reaction from Hull supporters to Livermore’s performance on social media site Twitter.
