Hull City striker Shane Long has admitted that his side are not safe from relegation worries yet.

The Tigers got the better of 10-man Sunderland 2-0 away from home in the Premier League on Saturday, moving four points clear of the bottom three in the process.

"It was nice to get on the scoresheet and I'm delighted for Nikica Jelavic," BBC Sport quotes him as saying. "He had a few chances and I was just pleased that one of them went in to get him off the mark.

"Everybody won last week and, even though we got a good point against Tottenham, people closed the gap on us, so it was a big three points for us.

"We're under no illusions, though, there's still a lot of work to do."

Long opened the scoring for Hull after 17 minutes, and Jelavic added the second just after the hour mark.
