Bristol City came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw with Hull City at MKM Stadium as Nahki Wells equalized for the visitors in the second half.

Wells thought he had equalized just before half-time, but his effort was ruled out for offside after a late call from the assistant referee.

He finally found the net with a goal on the hour mark, but neither team could find a second to take the three points.

Both sides had a number of half chances in the opening 15 minutes before Tufan – who scored a hat-trick two weeks ago against Sheffield Wednesday – broke the deadlock.

Delap had proven dangerous down the right before and this time got the better of Zak Vyner in a one-on-one and crossed towards Tufan, who simply waited in space and slid into the net.

Unlike a week ago when Bristol City failed to save a shot on target in their 2-0 loss to Birmingham City, they responded well and had plenty of chances to equalise.

Wells volleyed from close range and saw a header well blocked by the Hull defence, while Joe Williams also volleyed over the bar after the ball was deflected in its path.

Wells, starter on one of three changes since the Blues’ loss, then put the ball in the net in first-half stoppage time and was with his team-mates celebrating when the flag was finally raised for off-side.

He continued in the same vein after the break and saved an overhead kick down the line before finally getting his just reward under pressure from Robins, tapping in from close range at the far post after a cross from Jason Knight had slipped to the end. the box.

Changes were made by both sides as they sought to snatch the three points, although Bristol City disappointingly called on Andi Weimann – who missed the last three games with one kick – only to see him return immediately three minutes later with another heel injury. .

Scott Twine got a free-kick comfortably saved by Max O’Leary, Aaron Connolly was also denied in a one-on-one with Robins keeper, while Bristol City substitute and debutant Taylor Gardner shot -Hickman, was blocked and deflected in the last minute as both teams were forced to settle for a point.

Hull City manager Liam Rosenior told BBC Radio Humberside:

“At the end of the day, it became one of those games where we could have won but easily could have lost.

“I was delighted with the first 25 minutes, we played great football and scored a fantastic team goal, that’s what I want to see.

“What happened was we tried to score every time we had the ball, we started running with the ball, we started chasing the ball, we don’t keep possession and that’s what Bristol City wants.

“It’s a team full of legs, full of energy, full of rhythm, Nigel [Pearson] recruited really very well and in fact we gave them oxygen by not keeping possession of the ball. So much to learn.

“What I liked was that after they scored we took control of the game and then they didn’t get any kick other than the long throws into our box from our leaves, being naive towards the end.

“Another day we take them, but another day we lose the game, so overall it was a typical league game. But seven points from four games to start the season gives us a good platform. “

Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson told BBC Radio Bristol:

“I’m not happy that we didn’t win the game because I think we should have won the game.

“We had a period in the first half where they were in the lead and they created shooting situations, which Max [O’Leary] pretty well managed.

“We allowed them to take over for a short time, but other than that I think our performance was very, very positive, and after such a disappointment at home against Birmingham with our lack of creativity, we created so much of opportunities today.

“We missed a few goalkeepers, but they defended their goal with a lot of commitment, so be fair with them on that. If we play like this every time we play, we will win a lot of games.

“We came here with a really positive intention and I think they would be quite relieved at the end of the game that the game was over because even in injury time, when the away team, we weren’t trying not to protect a point we were in. I’m trying to get three. And I like that.
