Hull City Triumph Over Wrexham to End Nine-Match Unbeaten Streak

Championship Clash Delivers Crucial Result

In a significant Championship encounter on 10 December 2025, Hull City secured a 2-0 victory over Wrexham at the MKM Stadium, marking a crucial turning point for both teams in their promotion aspirations. The match saw Wrexham’s nine-match unbeaten league run come to an end, whilst Hull bounced back from recent disappointment.

Early Strike Sets the Tone

The Tigers wasted no time asserting their dominance. Kyle Joseph scored in the 10th minute to give Hull the lead, capitalising on fine work from Mohamed Belloumi down the right flank. The 23-year-old attacked confidently and smartly cut back for Matt Crooks to get away a deflected shot that Arthur Okonkwo could only spill into the path of Joseph, who made no mistake from close range.

Missed Penalty Proves Costly

Wrexham had a golden opportunity to level the match when they were awarded a spot-kick. However, Moore stepped up to the 56th minute penalty and Pandur saved low to his right, denying the Red Dragons a crucial equaliser. This pivotal moment shifted momentum firmly in Hull’s favour.

McBurnie Seals Victory

The 63rd minute introduction only needed four minutes to find the net as the Scotland international stretched to get a toe on Ryan Giles’ low ball into the box. Returning from injury, Oli McBurnie’s instinctive finish secured all three points for the hosts.

Significance for Both Sides

It was an impressive response by Sergej Jakirovic’s Tigers to Friday’s humiliating 4-1 home loss to Middlesbrough and propelled them up to sixth spot. For Wrexham, playing without manager Phil Parkinson on the touchline due to a suspension, the defeat represents a setback in their remarkable Championship journey. Wrexham make the cross-country trip to England’s North East where they will take on a Hull City side with similar Premier League promotion aspirations, and both clubs remain firmly in contention for playoff positions despite this result.
