Oli McBurnie revelled in Hull City silencing their doubters after they stunned Millwall 2-0 to claim a place in the Championship play-off final.

Millwall finished 10 points above Hull in the regular season and missed out on automatic promotion by just a point.

But, after a 0-0 draw in the first leg on Humberside, it was the Tigers who booked their place at Wembley against either Southampton or Middlesbrough through two second-half goals in South London.

Mohamed Belloumi broke the deadlock in the tie in the 64th minute when he found the far corner with an unerring strike into the far corner.

And Belloumi then turned provider 15 minutes later as his cross-field ball found Joe Gelhardt, whose low drive snuck through the hands of Anthony Patterson.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, striker McBurnie said: “[We] knew it was going to be a tough time over two legs.

“It’s pretty typical of our season. Nobody fancied us last season and we’ve proved them wrong again.

“I think we can enjoy tonight. We’ve got a week and a half so we can have some enjoyment tonight and get back to it in a couple of days.”

The emotions were very different for Millwall boss Alex Neil.

“We didn’t do well enough. We didn’t stick well enough,” Neil told Sky Sports.

“You’ve got to give credit to Hull, I think they defended well, but as an attacking force, we didn’t have enough in the 90 minutes.

“I don’t think right now, as raw as it is, is the time to think about what we didn’t do three weeks ago [not getting into automatics]. 

“You just as feel as if it’s a disappointment, I feel I’ve let people down and that’s my overriding emotion.”
