Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall: 5 – a lot of potentially good opportunities were thrown away when the ball fell to him, his touch and passing in the final third wasn’t good enough and allowed Hull to gain possession in an area where Leicester were posing a threat. Made some nice runs down the left wing to play balls into the box.

Yunus Akgun: 5 – didn’t shine like he would’ve wanted, but I don’t think some players allowed him too. The Turkish winger showed for the ball and made runs to try and get involved when he could, but the ball wasn’t played to him to show off what he can do.

Kasey McAteer: 7 – attacked Coyle and took him on at every chance he could, even won Leicester a free-kick in the seventh minute. Thought it was a shame that he was taken off by Maresca after a really good game from the young academy prospect.

Kelechi Iheanacho: 5 -.didn’t make as big of an impact as fans know he can do, did come close to scoring in the first-half.

Substitutions

Abdul Fatawu: 7 – what a debut. Had the best chance of the game when his shot hit the post. Every time he whipped a ball into the box it was sharp and precise. Also, played a brilliant ball to switch the direction of play. Looks an exciting prospect and could be a dangerous player for us to have.

Stephy Mavididi: 5 – lost the ball and failed to make a big impact after coming on for McAteer.

Cesare Casadei: 6 – ran into the box and showed himself as an option, finding himself on the end of crosses into the box too. Made a massive difference to the team after he came on and showed lots of energy. Deserves a place in the starting XI.
