Swansea City 2-2 Hull City

Nouha Dicko's equaliser secured a 2-2 draw for Hull City at the Liberty Stadium

Swansea City's unlikely Championship play-off push is over after Hull City fought back to draw 2-2.

Graham Potter's men were on course for a seventh straight home victory after Oli McBurnie's double.

But Hull scored twice in the last 13 minutes, through Jarrod Bowen and Nouha Dicko, to end Swansea's top-six hopes.

The result means both teams will be jockeying for position in mid-table as the second-tier season draws to a close.

Swansea had needed victory to keep alive their hopes of making a late surge into the play-off places while Hull had been in top-six contention themselves until Easter weekend defeats to West Brom and Sheffield United.

It has been a positive season nevertheless for Nigel Adkins' team, who were mentioned as relegation contenders last summer and laboured through the early months of the campaign.

Yet with Adkins out of contract and financial issues to contend with, it could be a turbulent summer on Humberside.

Hull's plan here appeared to be to stifle Swansea, with Adkins opting for five at the back as his team sat deep.

For much of the first half, the approach worked. Swansea dominated possession, but struggled to find space to attack amid the massed ranks of black and amber shirts.

Daniel James, who was in Hull's youth system before he joined Swansea at the age of 16, was given little opportunity to threaten because Hull were camped in their own half.

The breakthrough Swansea craved came when they produced a first sharp, passing move of the game and opened Hull up eight minutes before half-time.

Connor Roberts, Nathan Dyer and Wayne Routledge were all involved down the right flank, the latter sending in a low cross for McBurnie to sweep home.

The striker's 22nd goal of the season meant Hull, who had won their previous five games against Swansea, had to search for a response in the second half.

Swansea almost gifted Hull a leveller when Roberts' loose ball was picked off by Bowen and he played in Kamil Grosicki, but the Polish international fired wastefully over.

For a spell Hull asked some questions, but Swansea gave themselves breathing space midway through the second half.

For once James had some space to work with, and he scooted beyond Eric Lichaj before lifting in the perfect centre for McBurnie to head home.

Swansea looked close to home and dry, but Hull launched an impressive fightback.

After a long throw was only half-cleared, Jordy de Wijs nodded the ball goalwards and, after a touch from Jackson Irvine, Bowen tapped home his 22nd goal of the campaign.

With six minutes remaining, Irvine played the ball forward for Jon Toral and his cross was touched in by fellow substitute Dicko.

Swansea threw everything at Hull late on, but were left frustrated as Jay Fulton's stoppage-time header was cleared off the line.

Swansea manager Graham Potter told BBC Sport Wales:

"It was difficult with how Hull came and set up. They were very hard to break down.

"We scored a really, really good first goal and then to get the second from a good bit of open play meant we felt comfortable, but we were not too comfortable as teams do not have to do a lot, or necessarily play that well to score in this league.

"We are all disappointed as we wanted to take care of our own business, so to speak, and we were not able to do that.

"But I am proud of the players and proud of the supporters. Despite their disappointment they have always got behind me and the team, and for that I am grateful."

Hull City manager Nigel Adkins told BBC Radio Humberside:

"I've changed the formation today. I wanted to allow Swansea to have possession because they're very expansive. I wanted to be solid, and hit them on the counter-attack. I thought we could expose them with [Kamil] Grosicki and [Jarrod] Bowen.

"Obviously, when they scored, we changed the formation again. I take responsibility for the tactics in the first half, and great credit to the players, because we've turned it around in the second half. The lads have shown character. That's pleasing."

On his own contract situation:

"Negotiations will continue next week. We've had a long conversation, but there's lots of talking still to be done. There's a willingness to make something happen."
