LONDON: Oli McBurnie’s stoppage-time goal sent Hull City back to the Premier League with a 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough in the Championship playoff final at Wembley on Saturday. A match played in searing heat was drifting toward extra time when McBurnie pounced in the 95th minute to stab home a loose ball after a fumble by Boro keeper Sol Brynn. It was McBurnie’s 18th league goal of the season and by far the most important with Hull now to reap the massive financial benefits that come with being part of the Premier League.
