The drama. The pure, unadulterated drama of promotion and relegation. Well, in today's Championship playoff final, Hull City brought nothing but pure theater to their plight to play top-flight ball with a jaw-dropping strike from midfielder Mohamed Diame. Diame gathered the ball well above the 18-yard box, and absolutely unleashed a cracker of a shot that left the keeper helpless. Hull finished the season at fourth place—contending against sixth-place Sheffield Wednesday—and secured their spot to advance to the Premier League with Diame's goal. Right on time.
