Man United beaten 2-0 as Hull makes dream return to Premier League

Manchester United suffered a 2-0 defeat to Hull in their Premier League debut, while Tottenham was overwhelmed 3-0 by Brentford. This disappointing start to the new season overshadowed the dream return of Hull, who made a successful comeback to the top flight after a nine-year hiatus. Manchester United, the 20-time champions with a new manager, struggled against Hull's promoted status and lackluster performance.

Tottenham, one of Europe's biggest spenders, failed to capitalize on their new signings, while Everton won 2-0 against Crystal Palace with new manager David Moyes attending his first match since becoming Britain's prime minister. Ipswich, another promoted team, secured a 2-1 victory over Sunderland, while Leeds won 1-0 against Nottingham Forest with an 88th-minute free kick.

Arsenal opened their title defense with a 3-0 win over Coventry, and Liverpool will face Newcastle in their next match.
