Oli McBurnie scored in the 95th minute to lead Hull City to a 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough in the Championship play-off final, securing the Tigers' return to the Premier League after a nine-year absence.
Match Highlights
After a tense Championship play-off final at Wembley, McBurnie capitalised on a defensive error by Boro goalkeeper Sol Brynn to score the winning goal. The Tigers, who narrowly avoided relegation on goal difference last season, have now been promoted.
Play-off Drama
The build-up to the final was dominated by the 'Spygate' saga, which threatened Middlesbrough's participation. Despite the uncertainty, Boro arrived in full force, but it was Hull who emerged victorious.
The match was a typically tense affair until late in the day, with few clear-cut chances. McBurnie's header against the bar in the first half was the closest either side came until substitute Yu Hirakawa's cross was only pushed by Brynn into the path of McBurnie, who calmly finished.
Hull, who had to deal with a transfer embargo and were outside the play-offs heading into the final day of the regular campaign, will play in the Premier League next season.
honestly didn't see that coming lol, McBurnie was on fire tonight
