Perhaps last Saturday’s triumph was not a one-off. Hull backed up a shock victory against Manchester United by maintaining their 100% start to the Premier League and condemning Coventry to successive defeats. “We’re gonna win the league,” was the glorious chant raining down from the Hull support after Liam Millar’s 82nd-minute strike.
The goal was a sucker punch for Coventry, who were pushing for a winner and looked set to claim at least their first point of the season. Frank Lampard, arms folded, was unmoved as the away end rejoiced.
