    WHAT HAPPENED?

    The 22-year-old thought he'd scored the goal of the season when he nonchalantly nutmegged Rotherham's Oliver Rathbone and then tried an audacious Rabona chip over goalkeeper Viktor Johansson. After looking like he had produced something miraculous, it turned out his effort took a slight deflection off Cameron Humphreys' shoulder - meaning it was cruelly registered as an own goal by the Football League.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    That stupendous piece of skill from the former Aston Villa man drew Hull level with bottom of the table Championship side Rotherham, following Christ Tiehi's opener for the Millers. Then Liam Rosenior's men completed the comeback as Noah Ohio's goal secured the Tigers their first league double against the Yorkshire outfit for 40 years. Philogene's goal, that will have surely been a contender for the Puskas award, is undoubtedly one of the greatest rabona efforts ever seen, with Erik Lamela's strike for Tottenham against Arsenal - that won the Puskas award in 2021 - arguably at the top of the pile.

  • WHAT NEXT?

    Hull are back in Championship action on Sunday away to lowly Huddersfield Town, before two crunch games against third-placed Southampton three days later, and a home clash against fifth-positioned West Brom on February 24.
