'Criminally underused, Made needless fouls, Requires help to flourish again': Neil Allen's Portsmouth player ratings against Hull

The Blues started positively enough at Hull with Terry Devlin’s deflected shot giving them a 16th-minute lead.

However, poor defending allowed Enis Destan and Kyle Joseph to turn the game on its head, with the Tigers getting themselves in front.

Yet, in first-team half stoppage-time Devlin’s second, a head from Josh Murphy’s wonderful cross, ensured it was 2-2 going in at the break.

However, the match was settled in the hosts’ favour when Gelhardt lobbed the ball over the advancing Josef Bursik to settle it 3-2.
