Hull City pulled off a stunning upset at the MKM Stadium, dismantling Manchester United 2-0 in a performance that will live long in the memory for the home fans. United dominated possession with 72 percent of the ball and peppered the Hull goal with 21 shots, but they couldn't find the back of the net when it mattered. Hull, meanwhile, were clinical on the break, and Konstantinos Tzolakis kept them in it with some crucial saves, earning the official Man of the Match rating of 8.2 out of 10. The visitors had already leaked two goals by half-time, which summed up their day entirely. It was a night when the script flipped on its head. United won the corners and created chance after chance, but couldn't convert. Hull's four shots on target proved far more effective than United's five, a brutal reminder that football isn't won in the midfield. This result will send shockwaves through Old Trafford, while Hull's supporters head home knowing their side delivered when it counted most.
