Belloumi rescues Hull point after Everton fightback in 2-2 draw

Mohamed Belloumi came off the bench to earn Hull City a 2-2 draw against Everton at the MKM Stadium, scoring in the 74th minute after the visitors had overturned an earlier deficit. According to the match report from 101 Great Goals, neither side could produce a winning goal despite continuing to attack in the closing stages.

Watch the highlights:

All four goals arrived after the interval. Joe Gelhardt put Hull ahead in the 48th minute, but Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall levelled in the 55th before Thierno Barry gave Everton the lead in the 68th. Belloumi's response six minutes later meant both teams finished with a point after each had held the advantage during the second half.

Everton had already seen a first-half breakthrough overturned. Brennan Johnson put the ball in the net following a corner, but a video assistant referee review ruled out the goal. The decision kept the score at 0-0 going into the break, with the visitors unable to turn their earlier opportunities into a lead.

Flashscore's report described an early save from Hull goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis, who pushed James Garner's free-kick over the bar. Hull threatened on the counterattack, including a Gelhardt effort that Jordan Pickford saved. Before half-time, James Tarkowski blocked another Gelhardt attempt and Nobel Mendy headed over, leaving Hull with chances of their own before the scoring began.

Sorba Thomas supplied the pass for Gelhardt's opener, sending him through to finish over Pickford. Everton's equaliser came from an Ainsley Maitland-Niles delivery headed in by Dewsbury-Hall. Flashscore reported that Thomas then lost possession in the move that produced Barry's goal, with Dewsbury-Hall involved in working the ball through for the striker to put Everton ahead.

Hull's equaliser came after Elliot Stroud worked his way through the defending and pulled the ball back for Belloumi. Pickford got a touch to the shot but could not keep it out. Flashscore reported that Everton remained unbeaten in the league this season, although their wait for an away league victory reached eight matches. Hull's own run without a league win extended to four games.
