MANCHESTER, England (AP) " Manchester City got its Champions League qualification hopes back on track by beating English Premier League struggler Hull 3-1 on Saturday. A stunning team move finished by Sergio Aguero and a Fabian Delph strike ensured City ended a run of four EPL games without a win after an Ahmed Elmohamady own goal gave it the lead. Despite the defeat, Hull remained two points clear of the relegation zone, as its chief relegation-threatened rival Swansea also lost at West Ham. The hosts doubled their lead after halftime with a stunning team move, during which every City player touched the ball. Hull grabbed a late consolation when substitute Shaun Maloney set up Andrea Ranocchia to finish from close range five minutes from time.
