Everton player ratings v Hull: Dewsbury-Hall impresses but Toffees leak two goals

**[Everton](https://readeverton.com/) drew 2-2 with Hull City at the MKM Stadium after losing a second-half lead. Here are our ratings from the game.**

**Jordan Pickford – 6**

Had little chance with either goal and was not called upon too often otherwise.

**Ainsley Maitland-Niles – 5**

Set up Dewsbury-Hall with a good cross but had a difficult afternoon defensively. Hull found space on his side and he was replaced late on.

**James Tarkowski – 7**

Everton’s best defender. Won his share in the air and was generally reliable when Hull put the ball into the box.

**Michael Keane – 6**

Did most of his work without fuss and was rarely caught out individually.

**Jarrad Branthwaite – 5**

Used at left-back and produced an excellent low cross which Barry should have scored from. Had a harder time defensively and was beaten during the move for Hull’s second.

**Harrison Armstrong – 7**

Busy in midfield and comfortable on the ball. Gave Everton energy before making way late on.

**James Garner – 6**

Saw plenty of possession and kept things simple, although he had less impact as Hull grew into the game.

**Brennan Johnson – 6**

Had a first-half goal ruled out after a VAR review. Did not threaten often enough after that and was eventually replaced.

**Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – 8**

Everton’s best player. Headed in the equaliser before playing Barry through for the second goal.

**Jack Grealish – 6**

Frequently involved on the left but struggled to turn that possession into clear chances.

**Thierno Barry – 7**

Should have scored from Branthwaite’s cross but responded with a good finish when Dewsbury-Hall sent him through.

**Tyrique George – 6**

Came on for Johnson and tried to make things happen without finding a decisive moment.

**Jake O’Brien – 6**

Introduced late as Moyes changed his defence.

**Hayden Hackney – 6**

Given the closing stages in place of Armstrong as Everton looked for a winner.
