What happened. Hull City beat Manchester United 2-0 in their first Premier League game in nine years, with first-half goals from Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy.

• Hull were predicted by many to finish bottom after promotion via the play-offs.
• United were tipped for Champions League places after finishing third last season.
• Ajayi was released by West Brom just over a year ago.

“We are trying to prove people wrong. I know there are 37 games to go but this is a good base for the future.”

— Sergej Jakirovic

Hull's manager says the win is a good base, but there are 37 games left.
