Hull City hold Aston Villa to goalless draw as both sides rue missed chances
Aston Villa earned their first point of the season, while unbeaten Hull City secured a third consecutive clean sheet in Unai Emery’s 200th match in charge.
Hull City and Aston Villa drew 0-0 in a Premier League match that left both sides reflecting on missed opportunities.
Villa recorded their first shot on target of the season when George Hemmings tested Konstantinos Tzolakis during the opening quarter of an hour, according to Sky Sports. Nicolas Jackson had already headed wide in the early stages.
The visitors’ best chances came shortly after half-time. John McGinn shot over after combining play between Emiliano Buendía and Jackson, before Buendía also failed to keep an effort down when unmarked in the penalty area.
Hull threatened late in the match. Mohamed Belloumi’s curling effort struck the crossbar, while Oli McBurnie missed a promising opportunity after Ryan Giles picked him out inside the area.
The result leaves Hull unbeaten in their return to the Premier League and extends their run of clean sheets to three, according to the supplied match report. Villa’s first point of the campaign moved them out of the bottom three, while the fixture marked Emery’s 200th game in charge of the club.
