Meanwhile, Hunt was also happy with Khama Billiat’s movement during the game after deploying him in a more central role.

He added: “He’s a striker and not a wide player. I’ve always seen him play wide, but I prefer him as a striker. But I haven’t had the opportunity (to play him central) as we’ve been struggling with wide players.

“Moved him to nine, the movement was good, much better.”
