West Brom chief Carlos Corberan felt his Baggies team did well to keep Hull City at arm’s length during their pulsating 3-1 win over their play-off rivals at a sodden Hawthorns on Saturday.
Albion made it three consecutive wins after seeing off a Tigers side who contributed to their own downfall by gifting Albion the first through a Jean Michael Seri error which Jed Wallace gleefully snapped up, and though Lewie Coyle superbly levelled just before the break, Matt Phillips and Semi Ajayi scored within six second-half minutes to take the game away from City.

Maybe one of the few chances they did get, was the goal. In the second half, only at the end they create one opportunity but in general for me the team was defending and managing the game pretty well.
