Hull City 2-2 Middlesbrough: Points shared as play-off hopes for both dented

Play-off hopefuls Hull City and Middlesbrough shared the points in an entertaining game that ultimately did little for either side's top six chances.

Visitors Boro took an early lead through Emmanuel Latte Lath's composed strike after they opened the Tigers up down the left.

The hosts responded well and deservedly levelled when Jaden Philogene's cross beat everyone and went in at the far post and they went in front before the break after Jean Michael Seri pinched the ball off Lewis O'Brien 20 yards out and thumped home.

Finn Azaz equalised for Boro with a deflected close-range finish after the visitors hit Hull on the counter-attack and, despite both teams looking for a winner, that is how it ended.
