Player ratings: Outstanding performers on either side but only one matchwinner between Rotherham United and Hull City

But ultimately they could not stop an inspired Jaden Philogene from leading his side to victory. The winger took all the credit for the equaliser, despite it being classed as a Cameron Humphreys own goal but it was just part of a brilliant performance in Hull’s 2-1 win.

Rotherham United (5-3-2)

Viktor Johansson – some outstanding saves – the best from Jacob Greaves – to keep us guessing for more than 70 minutes 8

Hakeem Odoffin – does not look out of place as a centre-back 6

Lee Peltier – led the defence well 7

Cameron Humphreys – a good performance on his first start after injury 7

Sebastian Revan – one excellent tackle on Jaden Philogene early on 6

Ollie Rathbone – befuddled for Philogene's wonder goal 6

Christ Tiehi – put his side in front and was his usual energetic self 7

Sam Clucas – came close to scoring direct from a corner 6

Sam Nombe – the livelier half of Rotherham's front two 6

Tom Eaves (for Wyke, 74) – little for him to work with against his old club 5

Arvan Appiah (for Humphreys, 81) – not much he could do 5
