Hull interim head coach Andy Last told Sky Sports:
“It was a nail-biting game, it went right down to the wire. I’m just really proud for the playing group.
“I spoke all week about showing our personality and our performance when it gets tough and to make sure you answer those questions with your effort and your actions.
“To go down like we did in the second half and then find the extra gear when we needed it, with that composed play by Jake Arthur at the end, was great.
“Jake’s been outstanding and to come up with a big moment like that shows what a composed player he is.”
