Here are the Middlesbrough and Hull City player ratings from Saturday’s Championship match at the Riverside Stadium.
Middlesbrough
Brynn: Quiet throughout the opening half. Had to stay vigilant as the game dragged on and became a basketball game. 6 Dijksteel: Did well to win a 50/50 in the buildup to Conway’s goal. Poor goal from Hull.
Fry: First start since February 10 and will be better for outing. 6 .
Edmundson: Busy in final quarter. 6
Borges: I was lucky to get away with it after bundling Pedro. booked early in the second half. Not the best defensively. 5
Hackney showed what he contributes to Boro. Excellent performance in the centre of midfield. 8 Barlaser: A touch light in the tackle, but clean enough with the ball at his feet. 6
Doak defeated Drameh and continued his good form. He was confident in his ability to defeat his opponent from the start. Set up the host’s second goal. 8 Azaz demonstrated what a difference-maker and class act he is. 8
Burgzorg: Boro should have taken an early lead. Denied by a superb Pandur save in the second period. 7 Conway scored a well-placed header to make it 2-0 and looked better up top than at ‘ten’. Added a late second. 8 Substitutions: Latte Lath (Burgzorg 83). Howson (Conway, 86). I Jones (Hackney 90 + 2) Glover, Clarke, Ayling, Gilbert, Hamilton, and Forss were all omitted.
Hull City
Pandur: String of second-half saves. 8
Coyle: Cooped a soft booking in first half. Almost scored an own goal. 6
A Jones: Despite his best efforts, he was unable to stop Conway’s header. 6 McLoughlin returned to the starting lineup for the first time since Norwich in early October. Unlucky with the third goal. 5 Drameh: I had a nightmare, defensively. 4 Simons: You wanted a little more. 5 Omur: Pockets of life. 6 Palmer: Some nice first-half moments. Quiet in the second. 6 Slater: Keep going. 6 Kamara: A menace from the left. 7 Pedro: Some good hold-up work, and it was unfortunate that he got away from Borges but was hauled over. 6 Puerta (Simons 55) replaced 6. Giles (Drameh 56): 6. Burstow (Palmer 69) 6. Bedia (pedro 69) 6. Mehlem (omur 80) 6. Racioppi, Longman, Burns, and Jacob were all excluded.
