Konstantinos Tzolakis kept a clean sheet for Hull City against Manchester United on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
Hull City defeated Manchester United 2–0 at the MKM Stadium on Saturday 22 August 2026. Tzolakis prevented Manchester United from scoring, completing a clean sheet in Hull’s first league match of the season.
Hull’s goals came from defenders Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy, both in the first half. That meant Tzolakis’s contribution was not simply routine goalkeeping: the shutout preserved Hull’s two-goal advantage and secured a memorable opening victory over a major opponent.
Tzolakis was one of several goalkeepers listed among the season’s early clean-sheet leaders after the first five matches. Other names included Arsenal’s David Raya, Brighton’s Bart Verbruggen and Everton’s Jordan Pickford, but only Tzolakis kept the goal against Manchester United in this opening-weekend fixture.
