Hull vs. Derby: Score, Reaction from 2016 Championship Play-Off, Leg 2

Derby County came within a whisker of becoming the first team to overturn a 3-0 first-leg deficit in the Football League play-offs by beating Hull City 2-0 at the KC Stadium on Tuesday night.

A close-range finish Johnny Russell and an own goal by Andrew Robertson in the first half ultimately weren't enough for valiant Derby. Hull weathered the storm after the break to earn a Wembley final against Sheffield Wednesday to determine who plays Premier League football next season.

Hull fielded an unchanged starting XI from the one that won the first leg 3-0.
