KAMIL GROSICKI led the way as Hull proved they are no one-man band by hitting Bolton for six.

Jarrod Bowen has attracted admiring glances from the Premier League as he inspires Hull’s best run for three years.

The £15million-rated forward weighed in with his 11th goal of the season but Grosicki, above, stole the show with two clinical finishes in helping Hull to a fifth straight win.

On-loan Derby striker Chris Martin even got in on the fun to find the net for the first time in 11 months as Hull blew woeful Wanderers away with a five-goal blast in 21 second-half minutes.

Brazilian midfielder Evandro doubled the lead just after the hour with a powerful angled drive before winger Grosicki curled home his fourth of the season.

Martin fired in from close range in the 67th minute to snap a 23-game goal drought.

Ben Alnwick saved brilliantl­y from Bowen after Martin’s effort came back off the bar but Hull’s top scorer was not to be denied as he ran through to fire a fifth.

Substitute Nouha Dicko headed a sixth to make it eight unbeaten.

Clayton Donaldson shot wide from five yards for Bolton, who drop into the bottom three.

Trotters manager Phil Parkinson said: “We were exposed by a team full of confidence and I take responsibi­lity for us opening up more in the second half.”
