Hull City manager Sergej Jakirovic told BBC Radio Humberside:
“I’m very happy with this first home win in an official game, of course. I think we entered in the game excellent, very good.
“This is very good for our mentality that we believed until [the] end. We didn’t change our style [of play], we were very good in possession.
“It’s not easy to break down the opponent because they’re almost eight or nine players behind the ball always, and you need good combination, good technique, first touch, running in the space.”
On Oli McBurnie: “He proved already many times he can be the decision maker. He’s very important for us because you see immediately in the training ground he’s a leader. The boys like him very much already, he’s positive and this is important.”
Oxford United manager Gary Rowett told BBC Radio Oxfordshire:
“We changed the shape several times just to try and give ourselves a little bit more of a foothold.
“Of course they start and score a goal early, which is very disappointing from our perspective, and then to come in at half-time – I thought we rode our luck really first half.
“We ended up scoring two very good goals, both from set-pieces, but ultimately we probably should have been a couple more goals down because it was far too easy for them to open us up and create chances.
“[We] Switched to a five [at the back in the] second half to give us a bit of grip in the game defensively.
“We didn’t get up the pitch enough, but I don’t think they had many big chances. I thought we looked quite solid. You expect to see the game out.”
