Hull City kept a clean sheet while beating Manchester United 2–0 in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
The match was played on Saturday, 22 August 2026, with Hull City at home. Hull scored twice and prevented Manchester United from finding the net, giving the promoted club an ideal start to its top-flight campaign.
A clean sheet means that a team concedes no goals. Hull’s 2–0 result therefore combined three points with a positive two-goal difference, while Manchester United began the season with no points and a negative two-goal difference.
The result was especially notable because opening fixtures involving historically prominent clubs often attract attention, but the league table awards the same three points for every win. Hull’s victory was one of the round’s home successes.
