Nobel Mendy scored Hull City’s second goal in their 2–0 win over Manchester United in August 2026.
Mendy headed in a free-kick from Regan Slater seven minutes before half-time at MKM Stadium. The goal came on his Hull debut and doubled the newly promoted club’s lead after Semi Ajayi had scored earlier in the first half.
Hull’s victory was significant beyond the scoreline. It was their first Premier League win over Manchester United and their first league victory against United since 1974, when the clubs were in the Second Division.
The result is sometimes remembered mainly for the surprise upset, but Mendy’s debut goal was the decisive second moment of the match. Hull’s two goals both came before the interval, allowing them to manage the game defensively in the second half.
