5.0. Lovre Kalinic came up big at the end, but he was not particularly impressive in this match. The Croatian fumbled two poor crosses and should have saved Hull’s first goal.. GK. Aston Villa. LOVRE KALINIC

4.5. Up and down performance. He was not good defending, but he gets a small boost for playing a big part in Villa’s equalizer.. RB. Aston Villa. ALAN HUTTON

TOMMY ELPHICK. 5.5. Shaky in possession, but had several well-timed tackles and completed 84.5% of his passes.. RCB. Aston Villa

Villa captain James Chester has one less goal than all of of the club’s wingers combined. Today, his passing was wayward, especially in the first-half.. LCB. Aston Villa. JAMES CHESTER. 6.0

Provides balance – also gets lost several times per match.. LB. Aston Villa. NEIL TAYLOR. 5.0

6.5. One of Villa’s best performers on the afternoon. Conor Hourihane provided the assist on James Chester’s goal and played countless important passes.. CDM. Aston Villa. CONOR HOURIHANE

6.5. He’s taken on an increasingly important role with Jack Grealish out. He’s one booking away from a two-game ban, however.. CM. Aston Villa. JOHN MCGINN

CM. Aston Villa. BIRKIR BJARNASON. 4.5. Birkir Bjarnason is the most confounding player in the squad. His performances fluctuate as much as the number of positions he plays. Taken off for Kodjia in the 74th-minute.

Meh.. RW. Aston Villa. ALBERT ADOMAH. 5.0

6.0. Where would Aston Villa be without his timely goals?. CF. Aston Villa. TAMMY ABRAHAM

LW. Aston Villa. YANNICK BOLASIE. 5.0. Several interesting dribbling opportunities, but nothing close to clinical.

All data provided by WhoScored match center. Green, El Ghazi, and Kodjia all played reasonably well when coming on.
