Premier League newcomers Hull City recorded a shock 2-0 victory over top-flight giants Manchester United on the opening weekend of the 2026/27 campaign.
The odds were heavily stacked against the Tigers as they embarked on their first Premier League contest since losing 7-1 to Tottenham Hotspur on 21st May 2017.
Hull owner Acun Ilıcalı spoke positively of the club before kick-off, but there remained an overarching sense that Sergej Jakirovic's side was Championship level at best, with a lack of Premier League experience present in the XI.
The hosts -- who were priced at 8/1 to emerge victorious in Yorkshire -- proved too good for the Red Devils in every aspect however, and goals from defensive duo Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy saw them over the line.
Hull are priced at 9/4 to avoid relegation after defeating Michael Carrick's side 2-0 in Gameweek 1.
The Tigers were odds-on to face the drop in the lead up to the opening weekend, and while they remain favourites to return to the second tier, a victory over the country's most successful club will act as encouragement.
It's a win for Hull that puts them three points ahead of fellow newly promoted outfit Coventry City before the two teams lock horns in the West Midlands next weekend, a six-pointer in the early stages of the 2026/27 term.
After their trip to face Frank Lampard's side, they welcome Aston Villa to the MKM Stadium -- where they will be out to maintain their perfect home start.
