LEE Radford praised teenage winger Callum Lancaster for his two-try show in Hull FC's 50-12 win over 12-man London, whilst admitting it was a relief to finally win on the road.
On just his second senior start, 17-year-old Lancaster struck in either half in as a nine-try Hull blitz ended a four-game losing streak.
"I'm really pleased for Callum," Radford said. "He is still really raw, but physically he is in great shape and can get better.
"He has pace to burn and the more we can get him in space the better for us.
"Everything was based on the result, we scored some ugly tries and played some ugly rugby at times but the result was what mattered in the end, and I'm pleased we have achieved that," he said.
"It is our first away win of the season and it's a great way to start the second half of the season, and towards the end we started to play some very nice football."
James Greenwood had opened the scoring for the hosts, but Hull hauled themselves level when Gareth Ellis powered over from close range.
Having picked up the pace as the half wore on, FC added three further scores before the interval through Lancaster, Joe Westerman and Jamie Shaul.
Just before halt-time, London saw hooker Scott Moore red-carded for a high challenge on Lancaster and there was no real way back from then on.
In the second half, London struck first through Mason Caton-Brown, before Hull's one-man advantage took its toll and Danny Houghton, Westerman and Lancaster scored to end the contest.
Jordan Rankin and Fetuli Talanoa added further gloss to the score in the last four minutes, and London coach Joe Grima, who saw his side lose their 15th straight Super League contest, admitted it had been a tough day.
He said: "Scott is an aggressive player, but not a malicious one, so I shall have to look at the red card again.
"We were hit by injuries during the game and the truth is we just did not have the troops.
"We ran out of interchanges and it was just a case of filling places.
"Attitude is not losing us games - it is the inexperience.
"But if we continue to run hard and tackle hard, our luck will change."
