Ipswich's slim play-off hopes suffered another set-back when they failed to kill off battling Hull City at Portman Road, despite dominating throughout. Darren Currie curled Town ahead from a first-half free-kick - his first goal since October - but Leon Cort capitalised on some slack Blues defensive work to nod the visitors level.
Hull made the better start with Kevin Ellison feeding Stuart Green who blazed his volley well wide, before Myhill blocked Alan Lee's toe-poke and then beat away Matt Richards' follow-up.
It prompted a determined response from Hull, who made three good chances in the next three minutes - Green shooting over from a Keith Andrews pass, Andrews volleying wide from a corner and Jon Parkin then racing on to a Billy Paynter flick only to shoot into the side-netting. Against the run of play, Hull levelled on 56 minutes. Andy Dawson and Green worked a one-two at a corner when Town only sent Luis Castro Sito out to defend and Green had time to measure his cross to the far post, where Cort rose highest to nod home.
Hull City have now hopefully done enough to be safe in this division for another season.
