Hull clinched a play‑off spot with a 2‑1 comeback win over Norwich at the MKM Stadium. A 26th‑minute opener for the Canaries was answered two minutes later when Oli McBurnie converted a penalty, leveling the tie. The Tigers then seized the lead on 67 minutes as McBurnie netted his 20th of the season.

Norwich, last month’s champions of the division, deservedly took the lead through Mo Toure after Anis Ben Slimane threaded a perfect pass. Hull struggled early, relying on Ivor Pandur’s reflex save to keep them in the game. A second‑half surge saw Ryan Giles whip in a free‑kick to McBurnie, whose effort was denied by goalkeeper Vladan Kovacevic.

The victory lifted Hull back into the top six, a position they have occupied for most of the campaign, and set up a semi‑final against Millwall on May 8. Norwich never recovered, managing only a handful of half‑chances as the hosts held firm. Hull now head to Wembley with genuine promotion hopes.

Sergej Jakirovic praised his side’s resilience, noting the penalty conversion shifted momentum. Norwich manager Philippe Clement could only lament missed opportunities, particularly Kovacevic’s fine saves. Fans celebrated a season‑long quest for promotion, while Hull’s next challenge will test whether their late surge can translate into a Wembley appearance.
