Hull City player ratings as hard-working striker leads way in great attacking display

Hull City ended their four-match winless streak with an entertaining 4-2 win over Derby County.

Some of the Tigers’ attacking play was electric, some of their defensive play desperate. But the good outweighed the bad as they saw off John Eustace’s side in style.

Ivor Pandur – will be disappointed with Derby's first equaliser, though he was not helped by his defenders, but made a good save from Patrick Agyemang 6

Lewie Coyle – had a difficult night 6

John Egan – sone of his defending might not have been up to scrath but his goal was a corker 7

Charlie Hughes – loose at times on his return from injury but got better as the game went on 6

Ryan Giles – his hamstring injury was a real blow 7

Regan Slater – the hard work that comes as standard but should not be taken for granted 7

Amir Hadziahmetovic – lovely pass for Lewis Koumas' goal 7

Joe Gelhardt – lots of good link-ups with Oli McBurnie 7

Kyle Joseph – worked hard and his flick-on created the fourth 6

Liam Millar – disappointing by his standards 6
