Ipswich had the lion’s share of possession in the first half, cutting through Hull’s defence repeatedly and eventually leaving both Nobel Mendy and Konstantinos Tzolakis unable to prevent Florentino Luis’ 22nd-minute opener as he sliced through on the right unhindered.

After 37 minutes the visitors looked to have doubled their lead as Julio Enciso headed the ball in from a corner, but the effort was disallowed for a foul on Oli McBurnie during the previous play.

Hull upped their game after the break and after 58 minutes Tim Iroegbunam raced down the right and fired home the equaliser.

The pattern of the game changed entirely and 10 minutes later McBurnie stepped up to a Hull free kick and slammed the ball beyond Christian Walton to give the Tigers the lead.

But it lasted only six minutes as Enciso worked his way through Hull’s back line to produce a stylish leveller from just outside of the box.
