Hull City 0 Aston Villa 0 - player ratings
Villa's hopes of automatic promotion were dealt another serious blow as they drew 0-0 at Hull.
We rate the players following a frustrating night at the KCOM Stadium.
Sam Johnstone
Made the game’s only serious save of note when he tipped over Angus MacDonald’s strike. Showed steady handling as ever. 7/10.
Axel Tuanzebe
Linked up well with Snodgrass in the first-half but lost his way badly after the break, as his performance became wracked with indecision. A useful lesson. 5/10.
John Terry
Villa’s skipper was typically composed and usually around to mop up any danger, on a day when the team’s defence was not the problem. 7/10.
Alan Hutton
Provided Villa with some added drive down the left and denied Abel Hernandez in the second period with a superb interception. Blotted his copybook with a needless dive. 7/10.
Mile Jedinak
The Australian was steady enough during the first-half but quickly faded after the break. Failed to provide Villa with the required momentum. 5/10.
Robert Snodgrass
The Scot didn’t let persistent boos from the home supporters get in his way as he provided Villa with their most consistent attacking threat. 6/10.
Henri Lansbury
Enjoyed a busy first-half on his first start since December. Far quieter after the break and may not have done enough to keep his place. 5/10.
Jack Grealish
The man who typically pulls the strings for Villa is experiencing a sticky patch. Fortunate not to give away a penalty in the second half. 5/10.
Albert Adomah
A real off-day for Villa’s top scorer, who on usual form might have finished the day with at least a couple of goals. His early miss proved costly. 5/10.
Lewis Grabban
Held the ball up well in the first-half and was a key figure in many of Villa’s best attacks. Was far less prominent in the second period. 5/10.
STAR MAN
James Chester
The only returning player to be cheered by the Hull support, Chester enjoyed a fine game. Made several key tackles and interceptions to ensure Villa at least came away with something to show for their effort. 7/10.
Substitutes
Jonathan Kodjia (for Jedinak, 62 mins)
Looked strong but could not deliver the impact his manager would have hoped. 5/10.
Ahmed Elmohamady (for Tuanzebe, 75)
Provided some stability to Villa’s defence. 6/10.
Scott Hogan (for Adomah, 83)
A quiet cameo.
