Hull City held on to a goalless draw with 10 men against fellow relegation scrappers Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Tom Huddlestone was shown red in the second half following a second bookable offence, but the Tigers were able to see out the game to claim a point and place them six points above the drop zone.

For Leicester, they remain seven points away from safety and are running out of time to secure survival.

Goal

Mark Schwarzer: Controlled the box well and came into action when needed as he was tested more than his counterpart McGregor. Seemed comfortable throughout and had a breather when Hull went down to 10 men. (7/10)

Defence

Ritchie de Laet: Seemed troubled at times when dealing with Hull on the counter, but got himself into good positions moving forward (5/10)

Wes Morgan: Appeared solid and comfortable throughout the game and even had an early chance to score for the hosts, but his shot was blocked. (7/10)

Robert Huth: Was rarely troubled by the Hull forwards and was more than capable of keeping attacks at bay. He also came close to scoring with a header, but just missed the target. (6/10)

Matthew Upson: Came close to clinching a late winner for Leicester, but his header fell into the hands of McGregor. He worked well working alongside Huth and was rarely tested. (6/10)

Jeff Schlupp: Came close to finding the back of the net with a low shot, but it was blocked by his own teammate. (6/10)

Midfield

Jamie Vardy: Never stopped running and deserved to be on the winning side for his energy alone. Came close to an assist when playing the ball back to Nugent from the byline, but his teammate failed to slot it into the net. (7/10)

Esteban Cambiasso: Experience is vital heading into the closing stages of the season, and, while Cambiasso had some lovely touches, he was relatively quiet throughout the game. (6/10)

Riyad Mahrez: Tried to make things happen on the ball and looked threatening going forward. Did well delivering set pieces, but ultimately, his targets on the other end failed to convert. (6/10)

Matty James: A disappointing day for the Leicester man as he failed to make a significant impact and his match was summed up by a few corners that failed to get past the first man. 4/10

Attack

Andrej Kramaric: Had chances to score early in the first half, but failed to take them and his impact grew less and less as the game went on. Eventually substituted in the second half. (5/10)

Substitutes

Leonardo Ulloa: Looked lively when he came on in the second half and held up the ball well, but the Hull defence were able to handle him for the majority of the game. (6/10)

Tom Lawrence: Came on deep into the second half and did not have enough time to change the course of the game. (5/10)

David Nugent: The striker was on the front foot instantly and should have scored in the dying moments of the game. (7/10)

Goal

Allan McGregor: Was rarely tested in between the sticks, but was able to handle a late surge from Leicester after his team went down to 10 men. (6/10)

Defence

Paul McShane: Worked hard with his fellow defenders to keep Leicester at bay, and seemed more than comfortable carrying out his duties. (7/10)

Alex Bruce: Unlucky to receive a yellow card in the second half, but kept his composure to finish off the match and prevent Leicester from snatching a late winner. (7/10)

Michael Dawson: Solid throughout and put in a captain's performance at the back for his team. Unfortunate to be yellow carded by the referee, but he was always involved by cutting out balls and defending set pieces strongly. (9/10)

Andrew Robertson: Struggled with his deliveries to his teammates up front and was relatively quiet throughout the contest. (5/10)

Midfield

Jake Livermore: His attacking influence faded as the game went on and he was forced into more defensive responsibilities once Tom Huddlestone was shown red. (5/10)

Ahmed Elmohamady: Looked lively early on and contributed to many of Hull's attacking plays throughout the game. (7/10)

Tom Huddlestone: Foolish to bring down Vardy and get himself sent off for a second bookable offence. There was no need for him to make the challenge and he left his team in trouble by leaving them a man down. (2/10)

Gaston Ramirez: Had little influence during the game and was eventually substituted in the second half. (5/10)

Attack

Nikica Jelavic: Should have been celebrating a goal in the first half, but fluffed his opportunity and failed to make up for it later on. (5/10)

Dame N'Doye: Was less than inspiring in attack and only tested Schwarzer once throughout the entire game. (4/10)

Substitutes

David Meyler: Brought on following Huddlestone's dismissal, but did not have enough time to make a significant impact. (5/10)

Stephen Quinn: Did not do too much to influence the game after he entered the field alongside Meyler. (5/10)

Abel Hernandez: Looked lively when he came on late in the game and had a great chance to snatch a late goal, but his effort was too tame. (5/10)
