Jarrod Bowen's goal was his 10th in nine games for Hull City

Aston Villa halted Hull City's winning streak in the Championship by coming from two goals down to salvage a point.

The Tigers, looking for a seventh successive win, seized the initiative at Villa Park when Jarrod Bowen grabbed his 14th goal of the season with a left-foot shot before Evandro acrobatically volleyed home Kamil Grosicki's cross.

James Chester reduced the deficit by heading in a free-kick, the home side's only effort on target before the break.

Wolves target Tammy Abraham then brought Villa level when he scored for the sixth successive home game with a composed low finish after his initial effort was blocked.

Despite missing out on three points, Hull moved up two places to eighth, six points outside the top six, while Villa remain 12th after a fourth game without a victory.

Home boss Dean Smith had the consolation, though, of seeing his side show plenty of determination to recover from a two-goal deficit.

Villa's opening goal came right at the end of the first half, just moments after the visitors lost defender Jordy de Wijs to an injury, and on-loan Abraham, the Championship's top scorer, again showed his quality to net his 17th of the season from Alan Hutton's cross.

They were not far away from a winner when Conor Hourihane curled a free-kick just over the bar, while Chris Martin was unable to convert a superb ball into the box from Daniel Batty at the other end.

Aston Villa head coach Dean Smith told BBC WM 95.6:

"It was a game we shouldn't have been two goals down in. We started so well, dominating possession, and then it was as if every mistake we made was highlighted.

"The goals that we concede at the moment are really poor. The first goal, we don't deal with a long ball and it goes through Kalinic, who should probably save it.

"Then we concede a second, even poorer goal but James Chester's goal galvanised the players. In the second half, the body language, energy levels and intensity were a lot better."

Hull City head coach Nigel Adkins told BBC Radio Humberside:

"We scored two great goals and could have scored a couple more. Then there's a little turning point bang on half time where Stephen Kingsley is defending fantastically well and the linesman has given a free-kick.

"It's not a free-kick. It's really good defending from the full back. They then outnumber us height-wise and Chester has got in front to score.

"We knew they'd come at us, and get crosses in the box, but I can't remember David Marshall having many saves to make. We had some good chances as well, it's a fantastic save from the keeper (to deny Chris Martin)."
