Hull City Seal Premier League Return After 1-0 Win
(MENAFN) Hull City ended an eight-year exile from English football's top flight Saturday, clinching promotion to the Premier League with a 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough in the Championship playoff final at Wembley Stadium.
Striker Oli McBurnie struck deep into stoppage time to send Hull back to the Premier League for the first time since the 2016-17 season, capping a remarkable turnaround under Turkish businessman and media mogul Acun Ilicali, who purchased the club in 2022.
The playoff triumph, combined with the earlier automatic promotions of Coventry City and Ipswich Town — who finished first and second in the Championship — confirms three clubs ascending to the Premier League for next season.
