Hull City were held to a goalless draw by Aston Villa as neither side could find a breakthrough in their Premier League meeting.
The Tigers had made an impressive start to the new season, winning their opening two matches and giving supporters hope that their run of victories could continue. However, Aston Villa secured a positive result by keeping Hull City at bay over the course of the 90 minutes.
Neither team managed to score, leaving the contest without a winner and ensuring the points were shared in a 0-0 draw.
Hull City move on to seven points and remain unbeaten in the 2026-27 Premier League campaign. Their strong opening means the Tigers have yet to suffer defeat in the English top flight, although this was their first match of the season in which they failed to claim victory.
For Aston Villa, the draw takes their total to one point. While they were unable to secure a first win, the visitors’ defensive effort was enough to prevent Hull City from extending their winning start.
The result also means Hull City’s supporters will have to wait for the team’s next opportunity to return to winning ways. The Tigers had entered the match with two consecutive victories behind them, but Aston Villa’s resistance ensured that momentum was checked without either club losing.
Hull City will next face another demanding Premier League fixture when they travel to play Chelsea on 12 September. That match will give the Tigers the opportunity to build on their unbeaten record and turn their positive opening into a longer run of results.
Aston Villa will also be in action on the same day. Unai Emery’s side will welcome Nottingham Forest, with the team seeking to turn the point gained at Hull City into a first league victory of the campaign.
The goalless draw leaves both clubs with a clear focus for their next fixtures. Hull City will look to maintain their unbeaten start while improving on their attacking return, whereas Aston Villa will aim to add to their points tally when Nottingham Forest visit.
