Late Ross Barkley header ensures Hull’s winless run goes on

Hull 2, Everton 2: Ross Barkley denied Hull a rare Premier League victory by heading home a late equaliser last night.

The Everton midfielder has struggled to produce his best form this season but rescued a 2-2 draw for his side in the 84th minute after Robert Snodgrass’s second-half free-kick had threatened to win the game for Hull.

Both sides hit the woodwork after Tigers goalkeeper David Marshall’s own goal had cancelled out Michael Dawson’s first-half opener for Hull — and although Mike Phelan’s side moved off the bottom of the table, they have now gone nine games without a win.
