In a tale of two contrasting returns to the top flight, substitute Liam Millar scored late on to seal Hull's second straight victory in a 1-0 win at the CBS while Frank Lampard's Coventry fell to a second consecutive league defeat.

Still high on their opening scalp against Manchester United, after Millar slotted past Carl Rushworth on the break, there were chants of "we're going to win the league" from the away end.

In scoring the winner, Millar, who replaced Elliot Stroud in the second half, made up for an earlier miss on the counter where he dragged a big chance wide of the target.

Coventry failed to mark their first home game in the Premier League for 25 years with a victory, but looked the more likely side when new signing Taiwo Awoniyi was denied by Konstantinos Tzolakis in the first half. Awoniyi made a nuisance of himself in his first Premier League start for the Sky Blues after scoring in a 4-2 win over Plymouth in the Carabao Cup in midweek. But it wasn't enough.

Instead, Coventry spurned a huge opportunity to avenge their defeat to Champions Arsenal in the curtain-raiser in what was dubbed a 'relegation six-pointer'. It was a baptism of fire on the opening day for Lampard's side, but as the Championship winners, against the play-off winners, the chance to take at least a point was invaluable.

Coventry's 25-year wait for a Premier League win continues.

The key moments from the Coventry Building Society Arena

21: CHANCE! Hull fail to clear their lines and the ball eventually rolls to Yerenkyi, who finds Awoniyi with a cross. Awoniyi meets it, heading right at Tzolakis.

38: BIG CHANCE! Tzolakis denies a sure goal from Awoniyi. The ball is whipped into the area by Tchaouna before falling to the striker. It looked like he knew very little about it as it bounced off his thigh goalwards.

50: SAVE! Rushworth gets across with strong hands to keep out a Mendy's piledriver from range.

57: NEARLY! Coventry fly forward on the counter with Tchaouna set on his way by Rudoni.

74: CHANCE! Millar is played through by McBurnie and has space and time to drive at Amenda, coming in from the right. He checks inside and shoots, dragging the effort wide of the post.

82: GOAL! NO MISTAKING A SECOND TIME! Millar finishes off a Hull counter-attack. It's Belloumi just outside the opposition area that finds the ball at his feet, turning and driving forward before picking out Millar on his left.
