Snodgrass, who grabbed a hat-trick for Scotland against Malta, again showed his eye for goal by bending a last-chance free-kick past Tom Heaton to cancel out Steven Defour's wonderful opener.
The Belgian international looked to have settled things in the home side's favour in the 73rd minute with an elegant solo run and shot but the Tigers, under caretaker boss Mike Phelan, continue to defy grim predictions this term.
TWEET OF THE MATCH: "Brilliant goal from Burnley's Steven Defour
Not sure I'll commentate on many better this season" - Football commentator Conor McNamara (@ConorMcNamaraIE)
STAR MAN: Robert Snodgrass
An easy selection if only for his late, late equaliser but he continues to offer Hull genuine Premier League quality throughout
The Scot is making up for lost time after his injury two years ago and in some style
His superb pass might have helped Hull take the lead on the stroke of half-time and he is a physical presence too
Corner delivery also impressive
MOMENT OF THE MATCH
As a standalone moment of skill Defour trumped Snodgrass in teeing himself up for a fine opener
The Belgian brings much-needed craft and guile to the Clarets midfield and showed his full repertoire in a few seconds as he took down a high ball with precision - baffling Sam Clucas in the process
He had the run and the finish to match too.
STAT OF THE DAY
Between them the two sides showed a grand total of one change from the previous round of matches - Burnley swapping Scott Arfield with Johann Gudmunsson
That was despite both being busy around transfer deadline day, leaving eight new arrivals sitting on the respective benches including club record signings Jeff Hendrick and Ryan Mason.
