Hull City started the second half very positively and drew level for the second time four minutes after the restart when Matty Fryatt scrambled the ball home following the goal mouth scramble at a corner-kick.
Hull then took the lead in the 54th minute when Tom Huddlestone made a run down the middle of the field, playing a one-two with Meyler before firing the ball into the back of the net, 3-2.
Stephen Quinn made certain of the victory for Hull with his side’s fourth goal in the 67th minute after he turned home another Livermore cross, 4-2.
Sheffield did find a consolation goal in the 89th minute courtesy of Jamie Murphy, 4-3.
