Hull City Makes It Two Wins From Two in the Premier League

Hull City’s return to the Premier League has opened with a perfect six points. One week after beating Manchester United 2–0, the promoted Tigers defeated Coventry City 1–0 on Saturday through Liam Millar’s 82nd-minute goal, according to the Premier League’s matchday review.

Millar had missed a one-on-one opportunity moments earlier, but he made the next opening count. Breaking behind Coventry’s defence, he finished past goalkeeper Carl Rushworth and rewarded another disciplined Hull performance. The victory left Sergej Jakirović’s side second in the early table with two wins and two clean sheets.

Two matches cannot settle a survival race, and Hull has lived through this beginning before. The club also won its opening two Premier League games in 2016–17 before eventually being relegated. That history gives the present start useful perspective: six early points are valuable, but Hull’s stronger case is the manner in which they were earned—through organization, patience and decisive late execution.
