Fabio Carvalho’s unreal volley winner for Hull City last night will have you off your seat
The shackles appear to finally be off Fabio Carvalho following what was a disastrous loan move to RB Leipzig in the first half of the season.
The Portuguese footballer enjoyed a game to remember against Sunderland, scoring an impeccable volley to win all three points for the visitors.
The unmarked Liverpool loanee took a chipped ball just inside the box, expertly powering it past the ‘keeper.
Hull City boss makes remarkable admission in verdict on vital Sunderland win
Liam Rosenior admitted his side had produced their worst footballing performance of the season in beating Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
Rosenior’s side were missing a host of key players for the game, with a number of players who had faced the Black Cats on Boxing Day sidelined due to injury, loan recalls and the African Cup of Nations. Sunderland dominated possession and territory as a result but struggled to carve out regular chances, with Fabio Carvalho’s deflected effort midway through the second half proving the difference between the two sides.
That was one of Hull’s only attacks of the second half but Rosenior said it was a night when given the number of players absent, his team had to show a different side to their game. While admitting that he didn’t enjoy seeing so many of his players booked, many of them for stopping Sunderland counterattacks, he was pleased with the ‘nous’ they showed.
