Hull City's perfect start has been hailed by striker Ollie McBurnie, who said: "To say we're the worst team in Premier League history, it's not a bad start from the boys." The Tigers' victory at Coventry has earned them huge momentum and belief, with McBurnie adding: "We don't feel we have anything to prove to anyone. No-one has given us the Premier League, we have all earned it."
Only three teams have ever been relegated from the top flight having won their first two games, with Hull City, Wolves, and West Brom being the only teams to achieve this feat. Coventry City, who scored 97 goals in winning the title last season, were persistent but limited in their game against Hull City, ultimately running out of ideas.
Hull City's victory has left Coventry City already playing catch up, with owner Doug King looking on grimly from the stands as time ticked by and the Sky Blues failed to recover from Liam Millar's 82nd-minute strike. Coventry City will need to improve, especially with Haji Wright's thigh injury keeping him sidelined for weeks.
