Hull come from going behind three times to play out thrilling 3-3 draw with Ipswich

Hull City come from going behind three times to play out what ended up being a thrilling 3-3 draw with Ipswich Town on Saturday night.


Ipswich went ahead on the 19th minute with Burns shifting to his right and sent in a cross which, after taking a flick off a Hull defender, the ball fell to Hirst to slot in from just outside the six yard box.


Ozan Tufan then equalised for Hull on the 40th minute mark. Mika won possession off the defender, brought the keeper out from off his line and then rolled the ball sideways for Ozan to finish emphatically.


On the verge of half time, Ipswich were back in front, Hutchinson went to his left and smacked one into the far top corner. One that needs to be seen.


10 minutes into the second half, Liam Delap got Hull level again, prodding home from Carvalho’s low cross.


Then that man again, Hutchinson, was in too much space, Hull players chose not to close him down, he shifted to his left and again picked out the far corner with a dipping strike.


Noah Ohio however made sure Ipswich weren’t coming away with all three points, as on the 86th minute, he was on hand to score from the rebound of Matty Jacob’s saved header.


Then right at the end Ipswich somehow didn’t win it. Omari Hutchinson burst through and Ryan Allsop denied him his hat-trick. Then Jeremy Sarmiento had his effort blocked on the line by a Hull defender and then somehow the ball was cleared to the edge of the area, with Ipswich then getting a free kic, which came to nothing.


The result means Ipswich will still need four points from their final two games to be sure of promotion to the Premier League.


Hull need to win their final game of the season at lowly Plymouth and hope other things go their way in order to get in the Championship playoffs.


Hull City: Allsop, Slater (Giles, 81), Jones, Greaves (C), Jacob, Seri, Morton (Delap, 46), Omur (Ohio, 73), Philogene, Tofan, Carvalho. 


Subs: Ingram, Coyle, McLoughlin, Docherty, Traore, Sharp. 


Town: Hladky, Tuanzebe, Woolfenden, Burgess, Davis (Clarke, 82), Morsy (C), Luongo (Taylor, 76), Burns (Sarmiento, 62), Chaplin (Travis, 76), Hutchinson, Hirst (Moore, 62). 


Subs: Walton, Edmundson, Jackson, Al-Hamadi. 


Att: 24,298 





Hull City forward Noah Ohio speaking to Sky Sports:


“We fought, it was a tough game. Ipswich were fresh. If I was a neutral, I’d love to watch this game from home.


“We are happy to keep going, happy to contribute and you can see it’s a team game. We’ve done it together.


“I’ve got the trust of all the boys and the manager and the last two games have been good for me. It’s just to keep going and I hope to have the same impact – but the team are more important.


“We can do it. With our team, with the staff, with the support. We can do it.”


Leicester City are promoted and will be champions with a victory at Preston on Monday.


Ipswich missed the chance to go 2nd but their game in hand means one win and one draw from their final two games will see them join the Foxes in the Premier League.


Norwich drew with Swansea and, realistically, goal difference means they’re are getting a play-off spot now.


West Brom lost 3-0 at Sheffield Wednesday to leave the door open for Hull to get into the top six on the final day if they can beat Plymouth and the Baggies lose to Preston.

@Godsy1970: I love this club. We’ve exceeded any expectation. But. We can’t defend for toffee. This might work in the championship but anyone who’s followed Burnley will know what is in store. I just hope MK will make the changes
