Gambar artikel:Decisive figure lifts Hull into the play-offs

Oliver McBurnie converted a penalty in the 28th minute and later struck the winner as Hull City beat Norwich City 2-1. He is now on 17 league goals, second in Championship scoring.

He rolled his spot kick into the centre (28.), then tested Vladan Kovacevic from close range after Ryan Giles' cross (53.). His aerial presence repeatedly pushed the Canaries back.

After Hull earned a set piece, he peeled into space to sweep a right-footed finish into the bottom left (67.), meeting Matt Crooks' headed pass.

He finished with five attempts, all on target, and won 10 aerial duels, regaining possession 14 times. That blend kept Canaries defenders occupied and gave Hull a constant outlet.

With regular deliveries from Giles and Lewie Coyle, he attacked early crosses and cut-backs, offering an immediate target and helping Hull control key penalty area moments.

Hull rise from seventh to sixth in the Championship and take a play-off place. The Canaries finish ninth.
