Semi Ajayi has said he was unsure whether he had scored Hull City’s opening goal against Manchester United, despite the strike giving him a prominent place in the Tigers’ return to Premier League action.

PUNCH Newspapers reported that Ajayi’s effort opened the scoring for Hull City. The report described the moment as part of a historic Premier League return for the club, although it did not provide further details about the circumstances of the fixture.

Ajayi’s uncertainty over the goal was not explained in the available evidence. It remains unclear whether there was a possible deflection, a delayed decision or another reason he did not immediately know the goal was his.

The supplied report also does not state when the goal was scored, where the match took place or what the final score was. Those missing details mean the wider effect of Ajayi’s opener on the result cannot yet be established from the available information.
