Hull City looked to be on course for a fourth consecutive Championship win after Joe Gelhardt slammed in the opener against Charlton Athletic at the start of the second half, but Luke Berry's close-range finish in added time earned Charlton Athletic a point.

A gritty, professional display from City appeared enough to bag a fifth home win and move them into the top six, before a defensive lapse in concentration from a James Bree corner after 91 minutes meant the Tigers had to settle for a point.

It was, however, a point that ensured they remain unbeaten in their last five games and sit outside the top six on only goal difference after what can be considered a tremendous start to the season under Sergej Jakirovic.

Here's a look at the top talking points from the game...

City's tough lesson

Make no mistake about it, this was two points dropped for the hosts who should have seen it out. Ivor Pandur's decision to come and flap at the ball into the box instead of either catching or punching the ball away left City in real danger, and so it proved.
