Hull City 2-2 Everton: Mohamed Belloumi earns Tigers point in thrilling four-goal second half with Toffees still unbeaten

Mohamed Belloumi came off the bench to earn Hull City a 2-2 draw in a thrilling four-goal second-half which leaves Everton still unbeaten.

Hull led shortly after half-time when Joe Gelhardt capitalised on a mistake from Everton right-back Ainsley Maitland-Niles, sending a delicate chip past Jordan Pickford in the 49th minute.

But Maitland-Niles soon atoned for his error with an inch-perfect cross for the outstanding Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who nodded in the equaliser and the first goal Hull have conceded at the MKM Stadium this season, after a VAR check ruled out Brennan Johnson's opener for offside in the first half.

Everton created eight big chances and five fell to Thierno Barry, who finally took one, finishing past Konstantinos Tzolakis to put the visitors ahead after good work from Dewsbury-Hall to make the most of Sorba Thomas's loose pass.

However, Hull were not finished, and within six minutes they levelled when the dangerous Belloumi, benched after the international break due to tiredness, beat Pickford with a low shot shortly after coming on.

37: EVERTON GOAL RULED OUT! Johnson forces the ball in after Hull goalkeeper Tzolakis drops a cross, but VAR sends referee Michael Salisbury to the monitor and he rules it out for offside.

44: OFF THE LINE! James Tarkowski gets a crucial touch to turn Gelhardt's shot wide.

45+2: CHANCE! Barry heads over Jack Grealish's cross from close range.

49: GOAL! Gelhardt capitalises on Maitland-Niles' mistake to finish past Pickford.

55: EQUALISER! Dewsbury-Hall nods in the leveller from Maitland-Niles' cross.

60: BARRY MISSES A SITTER! The Everton striker has a tap-in from inside the six-yard box, but completely misses the ball.

68: BARRY GETS HIS GOAL! At last, Barry finds the net with a confident finish after being played through by Dewsbury-Hall.

74: GOAL! Super-sub Belloumi beats Pickford with a low strike from inside the area.

Everton manager David Moyes speaking to Your Site:

"A really frustrating day. We get a draw and it's a decent point away from home. Hull have done really well here but we should have won the game. We had very few performing today. I'm frustrated with it a little bit.

"There were not many performing at the level I think they have been or can perform at. I could hardly pick a player out who I could give a pass mark.

"When we went 2-1 up, I didn't think they could come back. We were so comfortable and didn't look like we should be conceding. A couple of defensive lapses were really poor.

"Everybody needs to step their game up."

Hull City head coach Sergej Jakirovic speaking to Your Site:

"Crazy second half. We started very well, they made one mistake and we punished it, but unfortunately we made two mistakes.

"I'm very happy with the boys because we showed a great mentality and we equalised. It's a good point for us.

"Everton are still unbeaten after six games. It's difficult to beat them. They have high tactical discipline and are strong in challenges, especially the centre-backs. It was not easy but we scored two nice goals."
