Sayyadmanesh Scores His First Goal for Hull City

He started up front the second game in a row after leading the line in the win at Middlesbrough last weekend.

The youngster scored after just eight minutes after rounding Bluebirds’ goalkeeper Dillon Phillips and slotting into the empty net.

Lewie Coyle then added a second shortly after and the Tigers led 2-0 at half-time. Aden Flint pulled a goal back in the 81st minute.

Shota Arveladze was pleased with Sayyadmanesh’s performance and said after the match, “It’s always great (when a player scores his first goal). The striker shows up, plays his first game at home (from the start), makes a goal – it’s for him, for his family, for his friends, for us.

“Still different culture, still different style of game but I think he looks quite solid. I think it looks like he’s played already two, three seasons here, which is also very big credit to the players around him.

“He’s a strong boy, his timing is good, he can hold the play, he can read the game. The goal he scored – he read it well, being quick, sharp. It looks easy but it’s not easy to be between the central defenders and goalkeeper, get a good touch first one and then it looks easy, of course,” Arveladze said in an interview with Hull City website.
