Angus McDonald 7. An excellent sliding block in the first half and a crucial header to deny Hemed in the second

Jordy De Wijs 6. Got an earful for letting Marcus Bonne get free

Callum Elder 7. Hemed peeled to the right to work Elder hard but he still got forward well

Dan Batty 6. Forced a good tip-over in the first half

Mallik Wilks 7. Hull’s most effective player on the left, less so on the right as the game went on

Tom Eaves 5. Not much service, not much impact

Substitutes

George Honeyman (for Toral, 56) 6. Lively

Josh Magennis (for Eaves, 56) 6. An upgrade on Eaves, he brought some urgency

James Scott (for Bowler, 56) 6. Just a touch on Elder’s 78th-minute cross should have given him a debut goal

Keane Lewis-Potter (for Batty, 73) 5. Blah, blah blah

Martin Samuelsen (for Wilks, 82)... N/A

Unused substitutes: Tafazolli, Burke, Stewart, Ingram.
