The Premier League's opening weekend delivered drama at both ends of the table, with newly promoted Hull City pulling off a stunning victory over Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur suffering a chastening defeat at the hands of Brentford.

Hull's historic win over Manchester United

Hull City marked their return to the top flight — their first in nine years — by downing Manchester United in what assistant head coach Dean Holden described as a momentous occasion for the club. Holden reflected on the significance of the result, noting that the doubters who questioned Hull's ability to compete at this level may well be providing the squad with extra motivation.

Hull secured promotion last season via the play-offs, and Holden suggested the hunger born from that hard-fought route back to the Premier League has not diminished. He also highlighted the importance of striker Oli McBurnie to the team's ambitions this season, pointing to his role as a key figure in Hull's attacking plans.

Holden also offered a candid assessment of what it is like to work under Hull's owner, giving an insight into the culture and ambition that has been built at the club since their return to prominence.

Spurs' dismal start

At the other end of the opening weekend's talking points, Tottenham Hotspur endured a difficult beginning to their Premier League campaign, falling to a defeat against Brentford. The result will concern supporters who had hoped for an immediate statement of intent from their side.

Newcastle fans welcome Isak

Elsewhere, Alexander Isak's reception from the Newcastle United faithful was a highlight of the weekend's discussion. The Swedish forward, who has become a key figure at St James' Park, received a warm welcome from the Toon faithful as Newcastle began their new season.

The weekend also saw tributes paid at St James' Park to the late Kevin Keegan, the legendary former Newcastle manager whose passing prompted an outpouring of affection from supporters and the wider football community.
