\n<\/p>\n
Konstantinos Tzolakis:<\/b> Excellent one-handed save to turn away Mbeumo’s angled drive, commanding when he came for high balls. Really good debut. 8.<\/b><\/p>\n
Lewie Coyle (off 70):<\/b> Early deep cross for McBurnie from right wing-back area gave a hint of Hull’s plan to attack from wide areas. 7.<\/b><\/p>\n
Semi Ajayi (off 63):<\/b> In the right place to smash home the rebound to put Hull ahead. His first Premier League goal since January 2021, for West Brom at Wolves. A rock at the back. 9.<\/b><\/p>\n
John Egan:<\/b> Middle of a defensive three, but stepped into midfield when Hull had the ball. Played the position really well. 8.<\/b><\/p>\n
Ryan Giles (off 84):<\/b> Like Coyle, a major threat going forward, but got back into position defensively to deny the visitors the same space he enjoyed. 7.<\/b><\/p>\n
Regan Slater: <\/b>Superb curling free-kick invited Nobel Mendy to attack it for Hull’s second. Part of a really good midfield effort. 7.<\/b><\/p>\n
Matt Crooks:<\/b> Dominated the central midfield battle, industrious and encouraging while never letting his own standards slip. Quietly impressive. Even had the energy for a charge downfield that forced Lammens to clear. 8.<\/b><\/p>\n
Nobel Mendy (off 63): <\/b>Debut goal capped a fine display, defensively sound, made the clearances when he needed to. 8.<\/b><\/p>\n
Mohamed Belloumi: <\/b>Very calm performance, tidy short passes and rarely gave the ball away, which allowed Hull to build momentum. 8.<\/b><\/p>\n
Oli McBurnie: <\/b>Impossible for the visitors to deal with. He didn’t score, but the threat he posed created space for team-mates to exploit. 8.<\/b><\/p>\n
Elliot Stroud (off 70): <\/b>Got away with a late tackle on Harry Maguire in the early stages, which angered the Manchester United<\/a> defender. However, the rest of his performance was hugely positive. 7.<\/b><\/p>\n Subs:<\/b><\/p>\n Paddy McNair (on 63):<\/b> Solid defensive effort against his old club. 6.<\/b><\/p>\n Lucas Herrington (on 63)<\/b>: Hull were playing on the counter-attack and he held his position well. 6.<\/b><\/p>\n Liam Millar (on 70):<\/b> Led a late breakaway but couldn’t create a third. 6.<\/b><\/p>\n Cody Drameh (on 70):<\/b> Nipped in on Luke Shaw to prevent him getting a cross over as the visitors’ pressure mounted. 6.<\/b><\/p>\n Matt Targett (on 84): 6.<\/b><\/p>\n Subs not used:<\/b> Dillion Phillips, Jens Hjert\u00f8-Dahl, Kieran Dowell, Lucas Gourna-Douath.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
