Hull City are the third and final team to secure promotion to the Premier League for next season, after Coventry and Ipswich. The English team finished the regular season in sixth place, only securing participation in the play-offs in the final week of the championship.
The road to the elite began with the semi-final against Millwall, where Hull managed to qualify thanks to a 0-2 away win, after the first home match ended in a goalless draw.
Meanwhile, Middlesbrough secured the final after taking advantage of Southampton's disqualification, who were penalized for spying on their opponents.
The final, held at Wembley Stadium, was decided only in extra time. Hull's hero was Scottish striker Ollie McBurnie, who in the 90+5 minute took advantage of a cross in the area and sent the ball into the net, sealing the 1-0 victory and the team's return to the Premier League after a full nine years.
Last season was quite different for Hull City, who managed to survive in the Championship only in the final week and thanks to goal difference, avoiding relegation to League One.
In addition to returning to the English top flight, the club also benefits from a significant financial bonus. According to reports, Hull will receive around 250 million euros from promotion to the Premier League, an amount that is expected to significantly impact the team's reinforcements during the summer transfer window.
We recall that this final is also known as the most expensive in football.
