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? 😂 #HULLEI #PL

So if 2 players kick the ball at the same time.....who gets credited with the goal? 🤔#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.

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 🙃 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
