Hull City suffer blow as Birmingham hit back for point

A stunning equaliser from midfielder Tomoki Iwata dented Hull's Championship play-off hopes as Birmingham fought back to earn a 1-1 draw at the MKM Stadium.

The Tigers looked to be heading for a valuable three points to cement their grip on sixth place thanks to Joe Gelhardt's 14th goal of the season midway through the first half, until the Japan international's sweetly-struck long-range effort flew into the top corner 13 minutes from time.
