Hull City coach Steve Bruce has lavished praise on Sone Aluko, noting that he was outstanding in his side&rsquo;s 4-0 thrashing of Bristol City in the Championship on Saturday.<br /><br />The Nigeria international had made a name for himself at the KC Stadium when he initially joined the club from Rangers in Scotland but has struggled to replicate those performances after picking up an Achilles injury.<br /><br />The 27-year-old Aluko scored his third goal of the season and notched an assist in the huge victory over Peter Odemwingie&rsquo;s Bristol City.<br /><br />&ldquo;We all know that Sone was terrific for six months when he first arrived here before having a horrible Achilles problem that effectively kept him out for 12 months,&rdquo; said Bruce to Hull City&rsquo;s official website.<br /><br />&ldquo;He was then trying to play catch-up in the Premier League and he found it a bit of a struggle. <br /><br />&ldquo;But we all know the ability he has got and when he&rsquo;s good, like he was in this one, he makes the team play. He was terrific.&rdquo; <br /><br />Sone Aluko has appeared 27 times for The Tigers in all competitions this season and has accumulated 1,195 minutes of game time.<br /><br />Igho Kingsley <br /><br />Photo Credit : hullcitytigers.com.<br />
