Hull City manager Marco Silva said he hoped a first away point in nearly three months would give Hull the "courage" to win their Premier League survival fight. Eldin Jakupovic's late penalty save at Southampton consigned Sunderland to relegation and gave Hull a 0-0 draw that boosted their chances. Jakupovic palmed away Dusan Tadic's spot-kick and Silva, who has guided Hull to 21 points from his 15 Premier League matches in charge, said: "This is bound to boost our confidence and help our courage with how we play. "It's true that one challenge we have is to improve our away form. Many, many times we played well but in the end the final result was not what we deserved. "Today it's a result for us of course, not a win, but it's an important point for us. If we had lost this game it really wouldn't have been good. "The result gives confidence to us, and again it was fantastic attitude from our players. "I want this bravery in our team, but it's not easy, the position where we are in the table. It's not easy but our players showed big, big courage. "The penalty was a really important moment for us, a big save." Hull host Sunderland, relegated after their home defeat to Bournemouth, next weekend and then travel to Crystal Palace before hosting Tottenham on the final day of the season.
