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 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.
