Hull maintained an unbeaten start to the Premier League season after holding Aston Villa to a draw on Saturday. The Tigers entered the match with a 100% record through two rounds but could not secure a third victory despite controlling much of the play through winger Mohamed Belloumi. Late scoring opportunities for the visitors proved fruitless when a strike from Mohamed-Ali Cho was saved by Zion Suzuki and Oli McBurnie failed to connect with a cross from Ryan Giles. The result keeps Sergej Jakirovic's squad two points behind league leaders Manchester City. This performance marks a significant shift for the club, which avoided relegation to League One on goal difference during the previous campaign. Hull now sits with a clean sheet record through three fixtures while continuing to integrate new arrivals into the starting lineup.
- •Hull remains undefeated with a clean sheet record after three Premier League matches.
- •Mohamed Belloumi led the offensive efforts for Hull during the draw against Aston Villa.
- •Mohamed-Ali Cho forced a save from Zion Suzuki in the 89th minute.
- •Oli McBurnie missed a late scoring chance from a Ryan Giles cross.
- •Hull currently sits two points behind league leaders Manchester City.

"Hull entered the third round of fixtures as one of only four Premier League clubs with a 100% record after two games. The majority of Hull's attacks on Saturday went through Mohamed Belloumi on the right wing and he almost gifted a third win from as many matches to the Tigers here with a stunning effort. The Algerian winger, 24, has shown in the opening weeks he has the quality to make an impact in the Premier League after starring in their promotion campaign.
