The club's new signing, Nobel Mendy, continued the momentum by scoring a second goal on his debut, heading in from Regan Slater's precise free-kick.\n\nDespite facing a formidable opponent, Hull's goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis kept the scoreline low with five crucial saves, including a vital stop to thwart Bryan Mbeumo's late attempt. The victory was a testament to Hull City's resurgence as they secured their first-ever Premier League win since a 7-1 home defeat to Tottenham in May 2017.",
