Who scored Hull City’s first goal in their 2–0 win over Manchester United in the 2026–27 Premier League opener?

The story behind the answer

Semi Ajayi scored Hull City’s first goal in their 2–0 opening-weekend win over Manchester United.

Ajayi struck in the 17th minute at the MKM Stadium. His effort followed a shot from Oli McBurnie that Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens tipped onto the post.

Nobel Mendy scored Hull’s second goal seven minutes before half-time, heading in a free-kick from Regan Slater. Both Hull goals came before the interval, giving the promoted side an historic victory.

The result was Hull’s first top-flight win over Manchester United. It was also their first league victory against United since 1974, when both clubs were in the old Second Division.
