Hull City continued their surprising Premier League form with a narrow 1-0 victory over Coventry, maintaining their 100% start to the season. Liam Millar’s 82nd-minute winner extended Hull’s perfect record after their shock opening day win against Manchester United.
The result leaves Coventry still searching for their first points of the campaign after two matches. Hull fans celebrated the late goal with chants of “We’re gonna win the league,” while Coventry manager Frank Lampard remained motionless on the sideline.
KEY FACTS
- Liam Millar scored the winning goal for Hull in the 82nd minute

How significant is Hull’s start?
Hull’s back-to-back victories, including against traditionally stronger opponents, suggests their opening win wasn’t a fluke. The team appears to be building early momentum in the Premier League season. Their start is particularly notable considering they were underdogs in both matches.
Coventry’s early struggles
Coventry’s winless start contrasts sharply with Hull’s strong opening. The late goal was particularly painful as Coventry appeared on course to earn at least their first point of the season. The result puts early pressure on manager Frank Lampard to turn things around.
WHAT WE KNOW — AND WHAT WE DON’T
Verified by the source:

WHY IT MATTERS
Early season results can set the tone for a club’s campaign, and Hull’s strong start could give them confidence against traditionally stronger opponents. For Coventry, failing to secure points against promoted sides early in the season could prove costly in the relegation battle.
WHAT TO WATCH
Both teams’ next fixtures will show whether Hull can maintain their surprising form or if Coventry can bounce back from their disappointing start. The international break may allow Lampard time to address Coventry’s early issues.
