  "account": "Hull City secured a goalless draw against Aston Villa, extending their unbeaten start to three matches in the Premier League. The 0-0 result saw Hull go three matches without conceding a league goal, while Villa continued their difficult start, still without a goal in the Premier League this season. Mohamed Belloumi's effort struck the crossbar in the second half, but Emiliano Buendía's close-range attempt from a set-up by George Hemmings fell just short. Despite Villa's efforts to control the game, Hull's defense remained tight, preserving their clean sheet and the club's remarkable start. Hull, who had opened their campaign with a 2-0 victory over Manchester United, now sit second in the table, while Villa have picked up their first point but remain without a goal after three matches.",
