Hull City 2-2 Everton: four second-half goals and a shared point
AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- 65% possession for Everton, above their seven-match average
- xG 1.42 v 1.73: Everton had the better chances
- Four fouls for Everton, against a seven-match average of 8.4
Four goals, all after the interval
A goalless first half gave way to a flurry after the break. Hull City scored first, Everton levelled and then went in front, and Hull dragged the match back level. Neither side held on for long: Hull led for about seven minutes and Everton for about six, which is why the points were shared.
Everton had the ball, Hull had the fouls
Everton kept possession far more than usual. They finished with 65% of the ball, well above their average across seven matches this season, and committed only four fouls. Hull, by contrast, gave away more fouls than their own average, which fits a side that spent much of the afternoon without the ball.
Hull made their few shots count
Hull took nine shots, all in the box, and their xG per shot was above their average across seven matches. Joe Gelhardt, brought into the side for this fixture, put all four of his shots on target and scored the opener. Mohamed Belloumi, who started on the bench, came on and levelled the match.
Everton's lead did not last
Thierno Barry's goal in the 68th minute moved Everton from level to ahead and was worth +1.4 FN xPts. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who had already scored himself, supplied the pass. Belloumi's equaliser in the 74th minute then brought the match back to even, and neither side found a winner.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall 8.9Dominant
He scored the equaliser, set up Barry's goal and made four key passes.
Dewsbury-Hall's value came mostly in attack: he wiped out Hull's lead in the 55th minute, then played the pass for Everton's second goal in the 68th. He also completed 48 of his 55 passes, so he was the link for a side that dominated the ball, and he added two tackles and an interception.

FN xPts — what each moment was worth
How much each moment changed that team's expected points (win 3, draw 1). A goal's value is credited 70% to the scorer and 30% to the assist. The value next to a team code is what the same moment did to the other side's expected points; the decisive moment is the one with the largest combined change for both teams.

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
