Cameron Brannagan's penalty earned Oxford United a point in their battle against relegation - but they sit second-bottom in the Championship and still a point from safety after a 1-1 draw with Hull City.

Mo Belloumi scored inside four minutes of his return as play-off chasers Hull took an early lead.

The Algerian winger made it a dream start for the Tigers when he ran on to Semi Ajayi's long ball down the right, outpaced U's left-back Ruben Roosken then cut in and shot low past Jamie Cumming.

Oxford equalised 10 minutes later, Brannagan converting a penalty after Charlie Hughes fouled Will Lankshear from behind as the striker broke into the box.

Substitute Mark Harris almost won it for the hosts at the end in stoppage time, but prodded his shot the wrong side of a post from a right-wing cross by Stan Mills.

The result was not ideal for either side, yet added another vital point to both sides' tally.

Both teams had key players returning from international duty, with Jamie Donley again in United's line-up after scoring for Northern Ireland against Wales and Welshman Harris back on the bench after netting one of the spot-kicks in penalty shoot-out...
