The Premier League is back, and Hull City pull off the unlikeliest of wins over the weekend, both Manchester clubs start out with a win, and Arsenal suffers an opening day defeat for the second successive season.

Leicester City is the first reigning Premier League champions to start the defence of their title with a loss after a humbling at the hands of Hull. The Tigers began the game without a permanent manager, and a squad of 13 players, and yet they were able to upset the upset kings thanks to goals from Adama Diomande and Robert Snodgrass in a 2-1 win.

Claudio Ranieri went for pace with Ahmed Musa starting ahead of Shinji Okazaki, and a place in the starting eleven for Demarai Gray, but they didn’t use it. Instead, Leicester laboured in possession, and Hull punished them in first half injury time when Curtis Davies flicked on a near post header and an acrobatic finish by Diomande at the far post sent the Tigers purring into the Hull changing room at half time.

Hull couldn’t have started the second half any worse if they tried. A minute into the restart and Tom Huddlestone brought down Gray in the box and last season’s Player of the Year, Riyad Mahrez, put the ball home from the spot.
