Hull Earns Everton Draw to Preserve Unbeaten Home Record

Hull City preserved their unbeaten home record since returning to the Premier League after coming from behind to secure a 2-2 draw with Everton at the MKM Stadium on October 11, 2026. Substitute Mohamed Belloumi scored in the 74th minute to earn the hosts a point after Everton had overturned an early second-half deficit. According to match reports published by ESPN and The Guardian, Joe Gelhardt gave Hull the lead in the 48th minute following an error by Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall equalized seven minutes later before Thierno Barry put Everton ahead midway through the second half. Belloumi's late goal completed the scoring and prevented Everton from leaving with all three points. The result extended Hull's unbeaten home run since their return to the English top flight.

Everton appeared to have taken the lead before halftime when Brennan Johnson scored in the 34th minute. However, a video assistant referee review ruled out the goal, leaving both teams level at the break.

Hull entered the match after suffering their first defeat of their return to the Premier League in their final fixture before the international break, losing to Newcastle. Their response against Everton ensured that setback did not end their unbeaten home record. Gelhardt capitalized on Maitland-Niles' mistake three minutes after the restart to put Hull ahead. Everton responded quickly through Dewsbury-Hall, who restored parity in the 55th minute.

Barry then moved Everton in front during the second half after missing several earlier opportunities, according to the match reports. Hull responded through Belloumi, whose 74th-minute equalizer secured the 2-2 result. The draw left both sides sharing the points after a match in which Everton briefly recovered from their disallowed first-half goal to take the lead, only for Hull to fight back and maintain their unbeaten home status.
