The Tigers sealed victory in stoppage time through Oli McBurnie, whose late strike ensured Hull City returned to the English top flight for next season. The decisive moment came in the 94th minute after Middlesbrough goalkeeper Sol Brynn failed to deal properly with a cross, punching the ball into a dangerous area. McBurnie reacted quickest to prod home the winner and spark celebrations among Hull supporters. With the victory, Hull City became the first club since Blackpool to earn promotion after finishing sixth during the regular Championship season. Hull City will now join Coventry City and Ipswich Town in the Premier League next season. For Middlesbrough, the defeat means another season in the Championship despite their unexpected route to the final. Boro were reinstated into the play-offs following Southampton’s controversial “Spygate” scandal after initially losing in the semi-finals.
