Hull City Beat Coventry 1-0 to Maintain Perfect Premier League Start

Hull City secured a 1-0 victory over Coventry City at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday, August 29, 2026, with Liam Millar scoring the decisive goal in the 82nd minute. The win maintained Hull's perfect start to their Premier League return, while Coventry suffered a second consecutive defeat since their promotion. The match was largely controlled by the hosts, who created several opportunities but lacked the finishing touch. Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi, making his first home Premier League appearance for Coventry, was central to their attacking efforts. He came close on multiple occasions in the first half, with his best chance-a close-range effort-saved by Hull goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis. Coventry managed 11 attempts on goal but only three were on target, highlighting their struggle to convert possession into goals. Hull, who had also beaten Manchester United in their opening match, defended resolutely and absorbed pressure before striking on the counter. In the 82nd minute, Mohamed Belloumi played through Millar, who finished calmly past home goalkeeper Carl Rushworth.
