Chris Hughton pleased with "big win"

Norwich City boss Chris Hughton describes his side's victory over Hull City as a "big win" in their battle against relegation.

Norwich City boss Chris Hughton has described his side's 1-0 triumph over Hull City on Saturday as a "big win" in their battle against relegation.

Ryan Bennett scored a late header at Carrow Road to give the Canaries their first victory in seven matches.

"I saw it as a big win," Hughton told BBC Sport. "It is so tight down there it is very difficult to talk about must-win games, but I know it is an important win - for the fact the opposition are close to us in the division and it is a close game.

"On the balance of the game I don't think there is anybody that could not agree that we deserved to win the game. I thought we were the better team over 90 minutes, but they are a good side and defend very well."

Saturday's victory has seen Norwich move up to 12th place in the Premier League table.
