Hull City beat Manchester United 2-0, backed by two first-half goals despite conceding the lion's share of possession. United had 71% of the ball and 20 shots to Hull's eight, yet Hull led 2-0 at the break and protected it.
Semi Ajayi put Hull ahead in the 17th minute, and Nobel Mendy doubled the lead in the 38th with Regan Slater providing the assist. United chased the game after that but never found a way past Hull's goalkeeper, who made five saves.
United dominated every attacking measure, including 555 accurate passes and an expected-goals total of 1.78 to Hull's 1.26, but Hull were ruthlessly efficient. The hosts scored from two of their three big chances, while United missed both of theirs.
