As a result of Windass' 33rd-minute effort, Phil Brown's Tigers are now four games unbeaten and sit in eighth place just one point shy of a play-off spot.

The same cannot be said of the Owls, who are now six games without a win and have failed to leapfrog Scunthorpe out of the relegation zone.

They could surely have no complaints, too, as Akpo Sodje's effort that struck the post apart, they failed to create any noteworthy chances.

Hull were little better in their attacking display but had enough quality when they needed it, and in Windass they had the match winner.

The 38-year-old had only been on the field for nine minutes when he scored from a 30-yard free-kick for his eighth goal of the season.
