Andre Schurrle
Nearly scored on his debut with a chip that sailed just over after a thrilling run past Maynor Figueroa. 6/10
Marco van Ginkel
Only had five minutes on the pitch but looked very comfortable in midfield. N/A
Hull City
Allan McGregor
A strange mix of good and bad: clumsily giving away a penalty, which he then saved well. 6
Maynor Figueroa
Pinned back by Kevin De Bruyne, so he could not make any of his trademark runs. 5
Curtis Davies
Could not be blamed for Hull’s problems and looked quick across the ground and composed in the air. 6
Danny Graham
Relies on service but Hull did just not see enough of the ball to feed him. 4
Yannick Sagbo
Recovered well from a painful 50-50 tackle in the first half with Ramires but did not make much impact. 5
Tom Huddlestone
Improved Hull’s tempo with his precise passing. 7
Jake Livermore
Came on alongside his former Spurs team-mate Huddlestone, and screened the defence well as Hull regained a foothold in the game. 6
