**Konstantinos Tzolakis:** Excellent one-handed save to turn away Mbeumo's angled drive, commanding when he came for high balls. Really good debut. **8.**
**Lewie Coyle (off 70):** Early deep cross for McBurnie from right wing-back area gave a hint of Hull's plan to attack from wide areas. **7.**
**Semi Ajayi (off 63):** 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.**
**John Egan:** Middle of a defensive three, but stepped into midfield when Hull had the ball. Played the position really well. **8.**
**Ryan Giles (off 84):** Like Coyle, a major threat going forward, but got back into position defensively to deny the visitors the same space he enjoyed. **7.**
**Regan Slater:** Superb curling free-kick invited Nobel Mendy to attack it for Hull's second. Part of a really good midfield effort. **7.**
**Matt Crooks:** 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.**
**Nobel Mendy (off 63):** Debut goal capped a fine display, defensively sound, made the clearances when he needed to. **8.**
**Mohamed Belloumi:** Very calm performance, tidy short passes and rarely gave the ball away, which allowed Hull to build momentum. **8.**
**Oli McBurnie:** Impossible for the visitors to deal with. He didn't score, but the threat he posed created space for team-mates to exploit. **8.**
**Elliot Stroud (off 70):** Got away with a late tackle on Harry Maguire in the early stages, which angered the [Manchester United](/sport/football/teams/manchester-united) defender. However, the rest of his performance was hugely positive. **7.**
**Subs:**
**Paddy McNair (on 63):** Solid defensive effort against his old club. **6.**
**Lucas Herrington (on 63)**: Hull were playing on the counter-attack and he held his position well. **6.**
**Liam Millar (on 70):** Led a late breakaway but couldn't create a third. **6.**
**Cody Drameh (on 70):** Nipped in on Luke Shaw to prevent him getting a cross over as the visitors' pressure mounted. **6.**
**Matt Targett (on 84): 6.**
**Subs not used:** Dillion Phillips, Jens Hjertø-Dahl, Kieran Dowell, Lucas Gourna-Douath.
