Hull City 3 Liverpool 1 - player ratings: Who was City's star man?

Our Hull City reporter Philip Buckingham casts an eye over Hull City players' performances in their historic 3 - 1 win over LiverpoolAllan McGregor No shame in being beaten by Gerrard's free-kick but any disappointment in that was shrugged off with a superb save to keep out Moses. Reactions as sharp as a tack. 8Ahmed Elmohaday Back in his old right wing-back slot and performed as well as he has all season. Tight in defence and adventurous going forward, he almost went on to bag a late goal. 8Curtis Davies Collected a booking that will rule him out of Wednesday's trip to Arsenal but it was the only black cloud on another fine day. Excellent in the air and showed a faultless reading of the game. 8Alex BruceStar Man Only a second Premier League appearance, not that you would know it. Fully justified his place ahead of Faye and his interceptions were vital. Even won a foot-race with Luis Suarez. 9Maynor Figueroa A series of key blocks demonstrated his astute awareness on the left of three-man defence and ensured Liverpool's threats were minimal. Overshadowed by others but still outstanding. 8Robbie Brady The versatile attacking arm of the Tigers dropped back to good effect, finding a return to form. A poor dive attempting to win a penalty earned him a booking. 7David Meyler Won the manager's faith and responded with exactly what was asked from him. Harried a hesitant Liverpool for 90 minutes and took his big chance with a superb low drive to help win it. 9Tom Huddlestone Returned to top form in a big way to be the linchpin of City's effective midfield. Sprayed the passes around and his late charge brought the third goal off Skrtel's head. 8Jake Livermore A first Premier League goal came at the perfect time for the Tigers. Deserved the luck after coming close so often at the KC and for a stirring midfield performance full of endeavour. 8Robert Koren Arguably the one individual who fell short of a high bar for the Tigers. Poor choice of pass when it mattered and Steve Bruce ran out of patience when replacing his skipper for the final quarter. 6Yannick Sagbo Won the admiration of supporters with a performance that saw him run his blood to water. Toure and Skrtel couldn't live with his strength and presence, and he could have grabbed a goal. 9Subs benchLiam Rosenior (for Koren 66) Parachuted into a well-drilled display and kept up the theme with an effective cameo. 7 Danny Graham (for Sagbo 90) Almost set up a fourth for Elmohamady when his hold up play worked well. 6 George Boyd (for Brady 90) A means of winding down the clock after being dropped to the bench. 6 Not used: Steve Harper, James Chester, Gedo, Abdoulaye Faye
