"Hull took advantage of an FA Cup hangover for Wrexham to strengthen their grip on a Championship playoff place with a 2-1 win in north Wales that put them six points clear of the Red Dragons. The battle between fifth and sixth in the table was decided by goals from two of Hull's loanees -- Leeds' Joe Gelhardt and Liverpool's Lewis Koumas."
"For long periods Wrexham looked a shadow of the side that took Chelsea to extra-time in Saturday's 4-2 FA Cup defeat as a run of three consecutive wins came to a halt, costing them a chance to go fifth themselves and leaving them only three points above Derby albeit with a game in hand."
"They were without top scorer Kieffer Moore, ruled out with a hamstring injury suffered against Chelsea which could mean the 33-year-old misses Wales' World Cup qualifying playoff against Bosnia and Herzegovina on March 26."
Hull City secured a 2-1 victory over Wrexham in a Championship match, with goals from Leeds loanee Joe Gelhardt and Liverpool loanee Lewis Koumas. The win extended Hull's lead over sixth-placed Wrexham to six points in the playoff race. Wrexham, appearing fatigued from their FA Cup match against Chelsea two days prior, struggled for long periods. Nathan Broadhead scored a late goal for Wrexham in the 76th minute to threaten a comeback, but Hull held firm. The hosts were without top scorer Kieffer Moore due to a hamstring injury sustained in the Chelsea match. Hull improved to eight wins in their last ten away league games with this victory.
