Hull City are enjoying a dream start to their Premier League return, scoring twice in the first half to stun Manchester United at the MKM Stadium.
Not much was expected of The Tigers, who named Australian recruit Lucas Herrington on the bench, with many expecting them to be a relegation candidate having secured a shock promotion from the Championship via the play-offs.
Instead, they flew out of the gates against United, who they have never beaten in the Premier League before.

In the 17th minute, Hull hit the front as centre-back Semi Ajayi popped up with a rare goal, slamming home from close range after a well-worked corner routine saw Oli McBurnie force a strong save from Senne Lammens, before the rebound was bundled in.
If that wasn’t bad enough for Michael Carrick’s men, United would go further behind before the break when another defender popped up in final third.
This time it was Nobel Mendy, the 23-year-old Senegalese international signed from Rayo Vallecano in this transfer window, who headed home to send the home crowd into raptures.

United dominated possession in the first half, but find themselves two down and needing to pull off a huge comeback in the second half to avoid a shocking start to a season where they were expected to get back to challenging for the title.
“Hull coming back into the Premier League, playing at home, great enthusiasm, they’ve done really well and made it difficult for Manchester United,” United legend Peter Schmeichel said on Stan Sport’s coverage.
“When they’ve not been in possession they’ve played five at the back… it has been difficult for Man United to break it down.
“Then when they’ve had the ball, they’ve been absolutely fantastic, especially the way they play the wing-backs. Man United has not been able to deal with that.”
Socceroos defender Herrington is waiting in the wings for his Premier League debut and would become the 58th Aussie to feature in the competition and the third-youngest should he see the field.

HULL CITY FIGHTING TO AVOID PREMIER LEAGUE POINTS DEDUCTION - BEFORE FIRST SEASON AFTER PROMOTION STARTS - AS OWNER ADMITS THEY MUST SELL PLAYERS
Hull City are attempting to avoid being hit with a six-point deduction in the Premier League with their owner admitting they must sell players to ensure they do not breach financial rules.
The Tigers must sell players before the end of the month to avoid punishment after overspending in their profit and sustainability (PSR) calculation.
Owner Acun Ilicali admitted that Hull will have to part way with some players but insisted it was a 'manageable' situation.
'We have overspent and we have to sell some players before 1 July,' Ilicali said this month. 'I'm not afraid, we have managed harder things. For us, this is more manageable. Now we are a Premier League team, the values (of our players) have risen.'
Under English Football League rules, clubs are allowed to lose £39million over a three-season period.
It is understood Hull are set to pay out around £12million in player bonuses after their 1-0 play-off final victory over Middlesbrough, though as that does not need to be paid until August, it is expected to count towards the calculations for the next financial year.
Millwall have bid £5million for forward Kyle Joseph, which would cover most of the shortfall, but he has not agreed to depart and will not be fit for a few weeks in any case, which would complicate a medical.
Naturally, Hull would look to upgrade their squad and that would entail some departures as well as incomings.
They will take heart by how Sunderland defied the odds as play-off winners to qualify for the Europa League in their first season back in the Premier League last campaign.
The financial year for most clubs typically end on June 30, so if Hull raise enough cash by then, they would not need to worry so much. The Premier League's rules permit a £105m loss over a three-year period.
Manager Sergej Jakirovic has already proven that he can get Hull to punch above their weight - few tipped them to even challenge for the play-offs last season.
All the same, the Yorkshire club feel a squad upgrade is needed and are looking at various signings.
They have already opened talks for Sporting Braga goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek.
The Premier League new boys want two goalkeepers for their return to the top flight and are understood to have offered £12.5m plus add-ons for the 6ft 6ins Czech Republic international who is part of his country's World Cup squad.
They have also enquired about Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu, who has been on the radar of Newcastle and Tottenham.

SOUTHAMPTON EXPELLED FROM EFL PLAYOFF FINAL AFTER SPYING
 |
| Southampton were on Tuesday expelled from the Championship play-off final after admitting to spying on a training session of semi-final opponents Middlesbrough. |
Southampton have been kicked out of the Championship playoffs after being found guilty of spying on semi-final opponents Middlesbrough, the English Football League said on Tuesday.
Middlesbrough, who lost 2-1 to Southampton in the two-legged semi-final, have been re-instated and will now face Hull City on Saturday in what is dubbed the world's richest football match.
Promotion to the Premier League is estimated to be worth in the region of 200 million pounds ($268.10 million) over three seasons. Southampton, who admitted the charges, were also found guilty of filming training sessions involving Oxford United in December and Ipswich Town in April during the regular season. They have also been deducted four points for the start of next season in England's second tier.
"An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Championship play-offs after the club admitted multiple breaches of EFL regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other clubs' training," the EFL said.
"Southampton admitted breaches of Regulations requiring Clubs to act with the utmost good faith and prohibiting the observation of another Club's training session within 72 hours of a scheduled match. The effect of today's order is that Middlesbrough are reinstated into the 2026 play-offs and will proceed to the play-off final against Hull City. The final remains scheduled for Saturday 23 May, with the kickoff time to be confirmed."
The EFL confirmed that Southampton could appeal against the decision and that "parties are working to try and resolve any appeal on May 20. "Subject to the outcome, it could result in a further change to Saturday's fixture," the statement said.
Middlesbrough had called for Southampton's expulsion after having a training session filmed ahead of the first leg of their playoff semi-final with Southampton which ended 0-0.
The club said it welcomed the decision. "We believe this sends out a clear message for the future of our game regarding sporting integrity and conduct," Middlesbrough said in a statement. "As a club, we are now focused on our game against Hull City at Wembley on Saturday."
Southampton were relegated from the Premier League last season and were struggling in the early part of this campaign until a storming finish in which they went unbeaten in 19 league games to finish fourth and enter the playoffs.

Brentford signed attacking midfielder Fabio Carvalho from fellow Premier League side Liverpool on a five-year deal, the West London club announced on Monday.
The financial details were not disclosed but British media reported that the deal was worth around £27.5 million ($35.10 million).
The 21-year-old represented England at various youth levels before switching to Portugal, where he was born, at Under-21 level. He joined Liverpool in 2022 from Fulham.
Carvalho, who spent last season on loan at Bundesliga club RB Leipzig and English Championship side Hull City, made 21 appearances for Liverpool across all competition, scoring three goals. He also scored in the preseason wins against Arsenal and Manchester United this summer.
Earlier on Monday, Serie A side AC Milan announced that they had signed Brazilian defender Emerson Royal from Tottenham Hotspur on a contract until June 2028 with an option for a one-year extension.
The 25-year-old Brazil international, capped 10 times, joined Spurs in 2021 from Spanish side Barcelona. He also had spells at Brazil's Atletico Mineiro, having started his youth career at Ponte Preta.
Emerson, who made 101 appearances for Spurs across all competitions, will wear the No. 22 shirt at Milan.
