Abdülkadir Ömür, 37, rolls back the years — 9.44

6 goals as Hull City and Blackburn Rovers go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Hull City and Blackburn Rovers, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Mohamed Belloumi sends Hull City past Blackburn Rovers
It finished 4‑2, and it was Mohamed Belloumi’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Hull City.
