Hull City player ratings as Tigers get the FA Cup job done, just not in style
Hull City progressed to the FA Cup fourth round in just about the unloveliest style imaginable.
David Akintola’s shot against the crossbar was one of the few highlights of the game and it took four spot kicks for someone to find the net before Hull emerged as 4-3 winners.
Dillon Phillips – one back-pedalling save to make during the game, he kept out the first two kicks off the shoot-out to send Hull City through 7
Cody Drameh – awful in the first half, he got better after the break, driving Hull forward 6
Charlie Hughes – a couple of good interventions and he put the ball in for Oli McBurnie's header 7
Akin Famewo – the run-out will have done him good but not a great personal performance. Booked 5
Lewie Coyle – worked hard as always, but the only Hull player who did not score from 12 yards 6
Amir Hadziahmetovic – a mixed bag in midfield 6
Darko Gyabi – the game had barely got going when he went down with a groin injury N/A
Joe Ndala – a poor performance from a player who needed a good one 5
Kasey Palmer – thrown in at short notice, he showed more energy than most in the first half, but not enough quality 6
Liam Millar – a really poor game from a quality player 4
Oli McBurnie – starved of service, he forced a brilliant save in extra time then scored his penalty 6
Substitutes:
Regan Slater (for Gyabi, 11) – went close a couple of times at the start of extra time 7
David Akintola (for Ndala, 82) – a horrible air-shot, then a volley against the crossbar but he made up for it with the winning penalty 5
Kyle Joseph (for Palmer, 82) – wasted a good header in extra0time but scored his penalty 5
Cathal McCarthy (for Millar, 90+4) – looked good when he came on 6
John Egan (for Famewo, 105) – N/A
Matty Jacob (for Drameh, 111) – N/A
