Hull City Coach Has Kind Words For Aluko After MOTM Display

Hull City coach Steve Bruce has lavished praise on Sone Aluko, noting that he was outstanding in his side’s 4-0 thrashing of Bristol City in the Championship on Saturday.

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.

The 27-year-old Aluko scored his third goal of the season and notched an assist in the huge victory over Peter Odemwingie’s Bristol City.

“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,” said Bruce to Hull City’s official website.

“He was then trying to play catch-up in the Premier League and he found it a bit of a struggle.

“But we all know the ability he has got and when he’s good, like he was in this one, he makes the team play. He was terrific.”

Sone Aluko has appeared 27 times for The Tigers in all competitions this season and has accumulated 1,195 minutes of game time.
