Fleetwood Town 4-1 Hull City - Tigers perfect league start ended by Cod Army

Hull City missed the chance to go top of League One after being hammered 4-1 at Fleetwood Town.

Two goals from Harvey Saunders and further strikes from Callum Camps and Sam Stubbs stunned Grant McCann's side at Highbury Stadium, ending the Tigers perfect start to the league season.

Skipper George Honeyman had earlier cancelled out Saunders' 17th-minute opener, but Camps' sweet strike two minutes into the second half set Fleetwood on course for a famous win in the first-ever meeting between the two clubs.

Defeat for Hull saw their four-game unbeaten run ended, and Saunders' opener was the first time they had conceded in 377 minutes of league football this season.
