Oli McBurnie scored a dramatic 95th-minute winner to send Hull City back to the Premier League, beating Middlesbrough 1-0 in the Championship play-off final at Wembley. The striker capitalized on poor goalkeeping from Sol Brynn to net the decisive goal in injury time, completing a remarkable turnaround for the Tigers.

Hull spent the 2020/21 season in League One but secured promotion just two years later. They become the first sixth-placed team to win the play-offs since 2010, having entered the final day of the regular season outside the playoff positions. Last season, they only avoided relegation on goal difference.

The build-up was dominated by the 'Spygate' saga, with Middlesbrough only confirmed in the playoffs less than 72 hours before kickoff after Southampton's expulsion was upheld. Despite the controversy and emotional toll, Boro pushed Hull all the way but fell short in the cruelest fashion.

McBurnie told Sky Sports: 'It was written for me to get it.' The summer signing from Las Palmas proved the difference in a tight match lacking quality, with Curtis Davies noting that 'unfortunately for Sol Brynn, he makes a mistake, but Ollie McBurnie makes no mistake.'
