‘Most freakish of own goals’ throws Championship relegation fight wide open just seconds into second half

HULL CITY'S Alfie Jones netted one of the most bizarre own goals of the season – to throw open the Championship relegation battle.

Luton Town secured a priceless 1-0 win at the MKM Stadium to move to within three points of the Tigers.

The Hatters arrived for the early kick-off on Humberside after a morale-boosting 2-1 comeback win at Cardiff before the international break.

And they couldn't have been gifted a more fortunate goal than the one provided by the hosts moments into the second half.

After a goalless first 45 minutes, Hull boss Ruben Selles would have been looking for his team to push on and collect three big points.

But things unravelled just 12 seconds after the restart as Luton keeper Thomas Kaminski made a long, hopeful punt upfield.

Lewie Coyle ran over from right back to cover, attempting to smash the ball away from danger inside his own box.

Coyle saw his thunderous clearance sail straight into the head of Jones, with the ball flying back towards goal and past stricken stopper Ivor Pandur.

One fan groaned on X in response to the goal: “The most Hull City own goal ever.”

Another laughed: “Reminder these guys get paid to play football.”

While a third added: “Sunday league level.”

And a fourth said: “One to erase from the memory ASAP… tough day for the Tigers!”

Luton have endured a tough first season back in the Championship following relegation from the Premier League last year.

The Hatters sacked Rob Edwards in January, bringing in Matt Bloomfield from Wycombe.

They have now won three of their last five in the league, pulling to within three points of safety.

Hull's defeat was their first in four games.

The Tigers are now looking over their shoulder, with a resurgent Derby gaining fast after three-straight wins.
