Coyle: ‘I’ve shocked myself with that strike!’

Lewie Coyle spoke of his joy after his spectacular 30-yard strike earned Hull City a thrilling 3-2 victory over former club Fleetwood.

After fighting back from two goals down to level thanks to quick-fire close-range efforts from Mallik Wilks and Keane Lewis-Potter, the Tigers went on the hunt for a winner.

A corner from George Honeyman – who was involved in all three goals – was cleared as far as Coyle, who took a touch before thundering an unstoppable right-footed effort into the top corner.

It was the right-back’s first goal for his hometown club and completed a stirring fightback as Hull City progressed to the last eight of the Papa John’s Trophy.
