The Tigers’ Acun Ilicali had threatened before the game to take legal action over Middlesbrough being reinstated, but only if Hull had lost the final.

95th minute winner sees Hull City beat Middlesbrough in Championship playoff final

“For the first time ever, I think I’m speechless!” Oli McBurnie said to Sky Sports.

“It’s been a long, hard season and that game today summed us up. We knew we weren’t going to come in and have all of the ball – I don’t think we’ve won a game this year when we’ve had more of the ball than the opposition!

“It was tough out there with the heat and Middlesbrough are a top, top team. We knew we were going to be right up against it, but we felt we’d have one chance and it was written for me to get it.

“I didn’t think it would be so late on, but what a feeling.”

Hull City head coach Sergej Jakirovic speaking to Sky Sports:

“It’s an amazing feeling. I still can’t believe we did it because we suffered a lot all game.

“The regular season was over and this was like starting a completely new tournament, no matter how many points you had.

“It’s about pressure. In the regular season, you have time to fix everything.

“This is a very demanding, very difficult league. I have been working in Turkey, in Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and it’s a little bit different.

“The intensity, with lots of games, is unbelievable.”
