Hull City has achieved an unexpected and strong start to the Premier League season under manager Sergej Jakirović. The club remains unbeaten in its first three matches, securing seven points through victories against Manchester United and Coventry City, alongside a 0-0 draw with Aston Villa.

A central component of this performance has been a significant defensive transformation. Goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis has recorded three consecutive clean sheets, making him only the third goalkeeper in Premier League history to achieve such a feat for a newly promoted side. 

Football analysts have noted the team’s organized defensive system, which utilizes a low block to absorb pressure and facilitate counter-attacks. This defensive stability marks a notable shift from the club’s previous struggles in the Championship and League One.
