City had kept Chelsea within their sights by holding Jose Mourinho&rsquo;s side to a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge last weekend, but after slipping up against Hull, the champions&rsquo; grip on the title is weakening.
James Milner earned City a share of the points with an injury-time free-kick after David Meyler had put Hull ahead in the first half.
Meanwhile, Eden Hazard broke the deadlock for Chelsea (8th min), finishing from Willian&rsquo;s incisive pass. An unmarked Jores Okore headed made it 1-1 (48th min) before Branislav Ivanovic&rsquo;s powerful left-foot shot made it 2-1.
