Joe Gelhardt gave Hull the lead shortly after half-time, but Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Thierno Barry turned the game around for Everton. Substitute Belloumi then struck in the 74th minute to secure a point for the hosts and preserve Everton’s unbeaten league run.
Everton denied opening goal after VAR review
Everton thought they had taken the lead in the first half when Brennan Johnson forced the ball into the net after Hull goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis failed to hold a cross.
However, referee Michael Salisbury reviewed the incident on the pitchside monitor following a VAR intervention and ruled out the goal for offside.
Hull grew into the contest as the half progressed, with Gelhardt going close and James Tarkowski making an important intervention to prevent the hosts from scoring. The teams went into the break level at 0-0.
Gelhardt puts Hull ahead after the break
Hull made the breakthrough in the 48th minute after capitalising on a defensive error from Everton right-back Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
Gelhardt seized possession and lifted a composed finish over goalkeeper Jordan Pickford to put the home side in front.
The goal was Hull’s first against Everton at the MKM Stadium this season and gave the Tigers renewed belief as they looked to extend their unbeaten home record.
Dewsbury-Hall and Barry turn the game around
Everton responded quickly, with Maitland-Niles making amends for his earlier mistake by delivering an excellent cross for Dewsbury-Hall to head home the equaliser in the 55th minute.
The visitors continued to create chances, although Barry endured a frustrating spell in front of goal before finally finding the net.
In the 68th minute, Dewsbury-Hall supplied another telling pass, allowing Barry to finish confidently past Tzolakis and give Everton a 2-1 advantage.
The turnaround appeared to put Everton on course for victory, but Hull had one more response.
Belloumi earns Hull a valuable point
Hull manager Sergej Jakirović introduced Belloumi from the bench, and the substitute made an immediate impact.
In the 74th minute, Belloumi found space inside the penalty area and fired a low shot past Pickford to make it 2-2.
The equaliser sparked celebrations among the home supporters and ensured Hull were rewarded for their persistence after falling behind.
Neither side could find a winner in the closing stages, leaving both teams with a point from an entertaining contest.
Everton maintain unbeaten run as Hull extend home record
The draw keeps Everton unbeaten in the Premier League, although they will rue the missed opportunities that prevented them from taking all three points.
For Hull, the result extends their unbeaten home record since returning to the top flight and demonstrates their ability to respond under pressure against established opposition.
Belloumi’s decisive contribution was particularly important, while Everton will look to improve their finishing after creating several clear chances during the match.
