Everton once again fell away in the second half as Hull halted a run of four consecutive league defeats through sub Sone Aluko.
If half-time scores counted as results the Toffees would be second in the table, and they led at the turn through Romelu Lukaku's sixth of the season, created by a pull-back from Kevin Mirallas.
However, by the time Mirallas went off just after the hour Hull had levelled through enforced substitute Sone Aluko, on for the injured Mohamed Diame.
Set up by former Toffee Nikica Jelavic, Aluko levelled with Hull's only shot on target of the game – but it was enough for Everton to drop two home points and keep them in the bottom half, while the point gained by Steve Bruce's men drags them above Burnley and out of the drop zone on goal difference.
