Sunderland 1-1 Hull City
Aiden McGeadyâs first goal for Sunderland in over a year was not enough to claim three points against second-placed Hull City.
Despite enjoying more of the possession and creating a number of half chances, the Tigers returned to Humberside with a point in the battle for promotion in Sky Bet League One.
It was Hull who took the lead in the 13th minute when Reece Burke made the most of Lee Burgeâs dropped catch, moments after the Sunderland goalkeeper suffered a head injury that required treatment.
But eight minutes later Sunderland, who showed plenty of nice touches throughout, levelled when McGeady was on hand to head in Jack Diamondâs delivery.
