Championship Battle Ends in Hull City’s Favour

Hull City beat Millwall 3-1 away at The Den in a thrilling Championship encounter on 13 December 2025. The victory was particularly significant as it demonstrated Hull’s ability to perform under pressure in an away fixture, despite their inconsistent form this season.

Joseph’s Double Inspires Tigers

Kyle Joseph’s double and Oliver McBurnie’s goal were key to taking three points from a difficult spot. Joseph opened the scoring early in the match, finding the net in the sixth minute before doubling his tally just seven minutes later. His performance proved decisive as Hull dominated the first half, taking a commanding 2-0 lead into the break.

Red Card Changes Match Dynamics

The match took a dramatic turn when Femi Azeez committed an infraction that was considered by the referee as violent behaviour and drew the red card to leave with 10 players to Millwall. Despite being down to ten men, Millwall showed resilience and managed to pull one back through Aidomo Emakhu’s penalty in the 80th minute, briefly reigniting home hopes.

McBurnie Seals Victory

However, any hopes of a Millwall comeback were extinguished when Oliver McBurnie added Hull’s third goal in the 88th minute, securing all three points for the visitors. The English League Championship game ended with a final score of 1-3, marking an important away victory for Hull City.

Significance for Both Sides

This result carries significant implications for both clubs in the Championship standings. For Hull City, the victory provides a crucial confidence boost and valuable points in their campaign. The Tigers demonstrated clinical finishing and tactical discipline, particularly in managing the game after Millwall’s red card. For Millwall, playing at home at The Den, the defeat represents a setback in their season, compounded by the disciplinary issues that left them a man down. Both teams will look to build on lessons learned as the Championship season continues its intense schedule through the winter months.
