BPL Sunday Review

A review of the weekend's action in the Premier League, as Hull salvaged a draw with Manchester City at the KC Stadium.

Geovanni edged the battle of the Brazilians as he salvaged Hull an entertaining 2-2 draw against former club Manchester City at the KC Stadium.

Robinho, drafted in by the Eastlands side for £32.5million after his compatriot's release on a free transfer, was lively but overshadowed by team-mate Stephen Ireland who grabbed both the visitors' goals.

Two horrendous defensive gaffes, from Tal Ben-Haim and Kamil Zayatte, made it 1-1 before a sublime second from Ireland and Geovanni's deflected free-kick cancelled each other out.

The result means both sides ended respective runs of three straight Premier League defeats but while Hull are still flying high in sixth, Man City are down in 12th.

Ayegbeni Yakubu rescued a 1-1 draw for Everton with a second-half equaliser against Middlesbrough at Goodison Park.

The visitors had led from the eighth minute when Gary O'Neil scored after breaking down the right onto a Stewart Downing pass.

Everton battled away for parity and it eventually came after 65 minutes when Yakubu deflected a free-kick home off his back.
