Follow Daily Mail Sport's live blog for the latest score, team news and updates as Hull City take on Middlesbrough in the Championship play-off final at Wembley Stadium , with Matt Barlow reporting from the ground. 16:38McBurnie starts the partyBy Lewis Browning Hull survived on goal difference last season.
Now they have secured promotion. Acun Ilicali is punching the air in the directors' box. Ollie McBurnie is being mobbed. Must be such a great feeling. 16:36Breaking:HULL RETURN TO THE PREMIER LEAGUEBy Lewis Browning Hull players collapse to the ground!
Middlesbrough, after being reinstated following Spygate, are down this time! They were in League One as recently as 2020. They finished sixth in the Championship. But now they are in the Premier League!
What a way to do it, too. Congratulations to Hull! 16:34, 105'FULL-TIME: Hull 1-0 MiddlesbroughBy Lewis Browning Free-kick to Boro in the centre circle. Brynn is up. The kick goes long.
It's too long! And out for a goal kick! Fans think the whistle has gone. It hasn't yet...
We're into the 15th minute of stoppage time! Crooks has a shot blocked! AND THAT'S IT! 16:31, 101'Hull 1-0 MiddlesbroughBy Lewis Browning All I can see is orange flags waving. Ayling goes back to his keeper.
Can we put that goal down to an error from Brynn? Egan heads away as we pass 100 minutes. Who knows how long we have? A couple of minutes, I expect.
The flag is up and Hull can take their time with this free kick. 16:29, 99'Hull 1-0 MiddlesbroughBy Lewis Browning Sarmiento is on for Boro. Ibeh is on too. McNair and Lundstrum on for Hull. We have about three minutes left to play.
The Hull end has come alive. They must now defend for their lives, as they have all game. And here we go, back under way... 16:25, 95'Goal:Hull 1-0 Middlesbrough By Lewis Browning Hughes is back on and Hull... SCOREEEEEEE!
OOOOHHHH MYYYYYYY! I cannot believe what I have just seen! Nice build-up play on the left and Hirakawa gets a cross in. Brynn comes to catch it, fails to gather, and McBurnie Fires in!
Gelhardt is offside, but jumps over it on the line. And the goal stands! Middlesbrough have seconds to put this right. 16:24, 94'Hull 0-0 MiddlesbroughBy Lewis Browning Whittaker tries a spectacular effort but it's sliced well wide. Lewie Coyle is down with cramp now.
Hull don't want to lose him. Eight minutes added on, mind! All to play for still! Hackney with a sniff.
His pass to Hansen is poor. Boro camped outside Hull's box. And we pause for Hughes to get treatment - a clearance hits him straight in the head, so we will have a halt to proceedings now. 16:19, 89'Hull 0-0 MiddlesbroughBy Lewis Browning Sky have just shown the match stats and there has been one shot on target all game... There are 84,506 fans here.
Not a bad effort for Middlesbrough with such short notice. I won't lie, we're heading for extra time in this one... 16:14, 85'Hull 0-0 MiddlesbroughBy Lewis Browning Gelhardt has been lively since he's been on and he gets the better of Targett at the far post. He spins, shoots, and it's just wide. Morris' cross is poor.
Hackney not able to get into it yet. A sniff for Hirakawa up the other end after good work from Gelhardt, but Morris does so well to recover! A sensational engine on that man. 16:10, 81'Hull 0-0 MiddlesbroughBy Lewis Browning McGree is straight down the tunnel, with Hansen on. A double change for Hull too, with Belloumi and Giles off for Drameh and Hirakawa.
Still nothing to separate these two sides as we enter the final 10 minutes. Things have slowed now again now. WOW! Hansen is slipped through and should score!
But wait - the flag is up. 16:05'Better tempo'By Matt Barlow At Wembley StadiumMuch better tempo to this half and a more open feel to the game... the managers will be relieved to find their technical areas are now in the shade. Huge cheers as Hayden hackney takes off his tracksuit top. Boro sub missed the last 10 games through injury... hailed by Hellberg as the best player in the Championship.
Whittaker to centre forward with Hackney one of two in behind him. McGree, the other, cannot continue.16:00, 70'SUB! Hull 0-0 MiddlesbroughBy Lewis Browning Hull enjoying a bit of possession now and it's Boro's turn to sit deep. Fry heads out the cross.
A loud roar from the Boro fans as Hackney - the standout player in the Championship this season - takes his bib off. A long period of play before he can come on, though. Whittaker with the ball out right, and he wins a corner - nope, a goal kick. Cramp, for Giles, it looks like.
On comes Hackney. He hasn't played since the middle of March. Strelec off. Key UpdatesTOP STORIES
