Millar makes no mistake second time

Hull City's attacking play produced a series of openings before Millar finally converted. The winger had earlier been played through by McBurnie on 74 minutes, driving at Amenda from the right before checking inside and dragging his effort wide. Eight minutes later, he made no mistake.

It was Belloumi who instigated the decisive moment, picking up the ball just outside the opposition area, turning and driving forward before finding Millar on his left. The finish capped a Hull counter-attack and underlined the threat the Tigers carried on the break throughout.

At the other end, Hull had Tzolakis to thank for two important saves from Awoniyi, while Rushworth also produced a strong-handed stop to keep out Mendy's piledriver. Coventry's Tchaouna was a constant outlet, set away by Rudoni on 57 minutes, but the hosts could not find a way through.
