Hull City have made a historic start to the Premier League season, collecting eight points from their first four matches. Only Nottingham Forest in the 1994/95 season and Bolton Wanderers in 2001/02 have achieved more points in their first four Premier League matches after promotion. Voetbal International reports that manager Sergej Jakirovic has promised his staff seven days off if the team collected eight points from their first five matches.
Jakirovic praised his team after their 2-2 draw against Chelsea, saying they have shown that they are a serious team and it will not be easy to beat them. He also acknowledged that the team can improve by making better decisions and being more confident. Hull City's start to the season has been impressive, with the team winning against Manchester United and drawing against Chelsea and Aston Villa.
