Mario Rivas settles it late for Hull City
The 85th minute, half the ground already edging towards the exits, and Mario Rivas decided nobody was going anywhere. Ipswich Town had no time left to answer.

Arthur Zagré gets the move he always wanted
Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Arthur Zagré has just signed for Hull City, and for once the answer mattered.

A one-man rearguard from Ivor Pandur
There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Business is business: Abu Kamara goes
Crystal Palace paid $5.2M and Hull City took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Sheffield come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Hull City did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Tempers go at Hull City
Oli McBurnie was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Toby Collyer was immovable
22 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Charlie Hughes shuts the door
Defensive actions: 22, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

3 academy players handed senior numbers at Hull City
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.
