Manchester United took control of this EFL League Cup tie with a 2-0 win vs. Hull City thanks to two second-half goals. The outstanding Juan Mata opened the scoring and Marouane Fellaini completed it with a late header. Before that, though, Old Trafford had to endure several frustrating misses after United's sharp passing repeatedly opened up Hull's deep-lying defence.
The visitors, managed by the newcomer Marco Silva, acquitted themselves very well, striking the post in the first half, going close on a couple of other occasions and even dominating possession for a short spell.
