The Tigers kicked off their Premier League campaign on Saturday afternoon with a tricky test against Manchester United.

But, it's fair to say they've caused quite the shock as they snuck into the lead against their opponents with 16 minutes gone on the clock.

Prior to the opening strike, Hull had two earlier opportunities to put themselves ahead, one of which saw Oli McBurnie draw a top save from United goalkeeper Senne Lammens.

But, it was Semi Ajayi who got the final touch as the Tigers scored their first Premier League goal in NINE years.

That's certainly one for the history books. Can Sergej Jakirović's side hold on to secure the victory, or will United find a way back into this?
