Hull City’s manager Shota Arveladze should have paid more attention to Wayne Rooney’s comments about the Bristol City trio Andi Weimann, Chris Martin and Antoine Semenyo.
England and Manchester United’s all-time leading goal scorer knows a thing or two about playing upfront and told City manager Nigel Pearson after Derby's defeat to the Robins last weekend that his front three were as good as anything in the league. That’s some compliment and against Arveladze’s Tigers they backed up Rooney’s comments and then some.
It has been a turbulent season at Ashton Gate and the home faithful were rewarded for their support with a five-star display. It was a dominant display from City, playing attractive football with Weimann, Martin and Semenyo clinical in front of goal. It has taken 45 games but finally Pearson's side achieved back to back wins and are ending the season in their best run of form, five unbeaten and 17th place secured.
