Spanish striker Borja brought Swansea City level against Hull City at the Liberty Stadium

Steve Cooper saw off Grant McCann in the battle of the new Championship bosses as Swansea City beat Hull City.

Ex-England Under-17 coach Cooper claimed three points in his first game in club football thanks to an impressive Swans revival.

Hull led after just three minutes thanks to Kamil Grosicki, but Borja's first Swansea goal in almost three years made it 1-1.

Mike van der Hoorn then nodded in what proved to be the winner.

It has been another turbulent summer at Swansea, with Cooper taking the reins in June following Graham Potter's move to Premier League Brighton.

Swansea also lost their two most influential attacking players during the close season, with Dan James leaving for Manchester United and Oli McBurnie joining Sheffield United earlier this week.

Hull's change in the dugout saw McCann arrive from Doncaster Rovers after Nigel Adkins' contract at the KCOM Stadium expired, but they have held on - for now at least - to key forward players in Jarrod Bowen and Grosicki.

It took just three minutes for Poland international Grosicki to make his mark on the new season as his cross-shot beat the keeper. There was some doubt as to whether it took a deflection off Daniel Batty on its way in, but the goal was awarded to Grosicki.

McBurnie's departure meant Borja, a £15.5m signing from Atletico Madrid, was handed a first Swans start since January 2017.

The Spaniard has spent the last two seasons on loan in La Liga, and would almost certainly be allowed to leave again should the right offer come in.

He struggled to make an impact in the first half as the hosts laboured going forward, though he did threaten with one header before Jay Fulton's follow-up volley was blocked.

Swansea needed some inspiration after the break, and it was Borja who provided it with an instinctive flicked header after Fulton had helped on Nathan Dyer's cross.

This was just the second goal of Borja's Swansea career, with the other one coming at Arsenal in October 2016.

A little over 100 seconds later, Cooper's team were in front.

Jake Bidwell's cross bounced off the crossbar to Dyer, whose centre was headed home by a stooping Van der Hoorn at the near post.

The lively Dyer had chances to extend the lead, but he was denied on three occasions by Hull keeper George Long.

McCann made changes, sending on new recruits Tom Eaves and Josh Bowler, and his side out the pressure on in the final quarter.

But after Jackson Irvine headed over and Kevin Stewart dragged a shot wide, Swansea could celebrate.

Swansea head coach Steve Cooper told BBC Sport Wales: "I'm delighted to get the three points and we were good for it in the end.

"Going 1-0 down at home is never an easy scenario, especially in the first game of the season. But I thought the fans were brilliant after that goal.

"We controlled all of the game but we didn't play to the levels we want to play to in the first half - we could have been a lot firmer with our attacking play.

"That was the message at half-time - we are doing okay, but let's show we are better than that. The players got back to the levels in the second half."

Hull manager Grant McCann: "I thought we were excellent for 45 minutes. Everything we worked on leading into the game was working very well.

"We were making Swansea play outside of us. Every ball into the box we were defending.

"We went in 1-0 up at half-time and I thought we were doing okay. When it was a crazy three minutes - the two goals we conceded were our own doing.

"We had a good spell at the end and possibly could have come away with something."
