Hull City's resilience and collective desire, which carried them to promotion last season, was evident throughout the match. The hosts came closest to a winner when Mohamed Belloumi hit the crossbar with a stunning left-foot shot in the 65th minute.
Aston Villa, who failed to score for the third match running, struggled to create clear-cut chances despite their possession and pressure. Hull City's goalkeeper, Konstantinos Tzolakis, made several crucial saves to keep the visitors at bay.
The result sees Hull City maintain their unbeaten start in the Premier League, while Aston Villa's struggles continue.
