Outstanding performance
Everton•MidfielderEverton controlled the game from the outset, racking up 65% possession and doubling Hull's shot count, but found themselves behind at the break when Joe Gelhardt punished a fast break just after half-time. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall dragged Everton level with a header from a corner before turning provider for Thierno Barry, whose rifled finish from the center of the box looked set to seal the points. Hull refused to fold, though, and substitute Mohamed Belloumi - introduced on 64 minutes - curled home the equalizer just six minutes after Barry's goal to make it 2-2. For Hull, battered defensively with 15 fouls conceded and only 35% of the ball, the result represents a hard-earned point against a technically superior side; for Everton, squandering six big chances and conceding from a sucker-punch first-half-ending passage will sting given their overall control of the match.
