McBurnie’s late winner sinks Middlesbrough and takes Hull into Premier League

Hull City secured promotion to the Premier League after a late winner from McBurnie sank Middlesbrough in the Championship playoff final at Wembley. The victory ended Hull's nine-year absence from the top flight, with the match carrying an estimated £200m value. Head coach Sergej Jakirovic had navigated a turbulent build-up involving a 'spygate' scandal that forced his team to prepare by analysing the wrong opposition for over a week.
