Did two players score the first goal of the Premier League season?

Hull welcomed Leicester City to the newly-named KCOM Stadium for the Premier League’s opener, and while at times the first-half was tepid the season’s first goal might have been a Premier League first.

After a smart save from Kasper Schmeichel both Abel Hernandez and Adama Diomande attempted a bicycle kick from close range, with both seemingly making contact with the ball before it ended up in the net.

It caused a lot of confusion.

Haha is it a shared goal for the new season? ð #HULLEI #PL

So if 2 players kick the ball at the same time…..who gets credited with the goal? ð¤#EPL #HulLei

The only game ever to have more goal scorers than goals! #HulLei

The goal has been compared to a scene from obscure Japanese anime Captain Tsubasa.

Close enough #PL #HULLEI pic.twitter.com/1KMHTJ7srx

Some even thought the finish was pretty relevant, given that the Olympics is currently going on.

Synchronised scissor kicks is well Olympiad. #HulLei

Diomande was eventually credited with the goal, but that didn’t dampen anybody’s spirits.

First goal is standard joint overhead kick ð wtf #HulLei #premierleagueisback

Nor did it stop the bookies from paying out on Hernandez as first goalscorer!

We're paying out on both Diomande & Hernandez as first goalscorer as a goodwill gesture… #HULLEI pic.twitter.com/cGKZEUJJdY
