Hull City vs Ipswich
Ipswich snatch draw at Hull
A late equaliser from J. Enciso denies Hull a home win.

Florentino put Ipswich ahead early on, but Hull responded strongly after the break with goals from T. Iroegbunam and O. McBurnie. However, J. Enciso's strike in the 74th minute ensured Ipswich salvaged a point, spoiling Hull's hopes of a narrow home win.
