What happened

Hull City made it back-to-back wins in the Championship as Millar's goal sealed all three points against Coventry City. The result extends Coventry's long wait for a Premier League victory to a quarter of a century, underlining how far the club still has to climb. Hull, by contrast, continue to build momentum with consecutive victories, boosting their confidence and league position heading into the next round of fixtures.

Chance analysis

Back-to-back wins are a powerful signal of form for any Championship side, and Hull will feel their season is gaining traction with each three-point haul. For Coventry, the symbolic weight of a 25-year top-flight drought is a reminder of how steep their return to the elite level remains — results like this against direct rivals only sharpen that frustration. The contrasting trajectories heading into the next matchday will shape expectations on both sides of the dressing room.

Impact

Hull gain momentum and confidence from a second consecutive win, while Coventry's inability to beat a fellow contender deepens pressure on results.
