Hull City player ratings vs Reading as Honeyman, Lewis-Potter and Allahyar steal the show

Two wins from two home games was just the tonic for Hull City head coach Shota Arveladze, after watching his side ease to a comfortable 3-0 win over Reading at the MKM Stadium. A brace from Keane Lewis-Potter and a first Tigers goal for Alfie Jones proved enough for the Tigers to move onto 50 points and claim successive home wins for the first time under the Georgian, in what was an impressive display.

Here’s how City reporter Barry Cooper rated the Tigers players at the MKM Stadium…

Nathan Baxter: Good positioning to make his first stop 35 minutes in, not a lot to do before a big save at 2-0 to thwart Lucas Joao, and that display continued thereafter. A signing City simply have to make this summer. 8/10

Jacob Greaves: Solid enough afternoon, floored Tom Ince with a heck of a tackle to get a booking. Could have broken his scoring duck late on. 7/10

Brandon Fleming: Superb clearing header in the opening 13 minutes and from then on, gave a no-nonsense display. Hard to see how Callum Elder gets his place back. 7/10

Alfie Jones: Headed wide when he could have left it for Lewis-Potter, made up for it when he poked in his first City goal early in the second half. 7/10

Sean McLoughlin: Neat and tidy when he needed to be, little fuss. Another fine display for a player rightly being talked about as a Player of the Season contender. 7/10

Lewie Coyle: Looked to get forward early on, and seemed to enjoy himself on the right flank. It may be a new role for him, but its one he looks comfortable in. 7/10

Richie Smallwood: Lovely dummy in the middle to get things going and that continued throughout. Calm, composed and won the battle against Drinkwater with some to spare. 8/10

Regan Slater: Neat and tidy alongside Smallwood in
