A tactical switch from Tony Pulis, forced upon him by an injury to Jonny Evans, proved the catalyst for a second half comeback from West Brom. Matching up to the 3-5-2 formation used by Hull, Chris Brunt cancelled out Robert Snodgrass' opener before Gareth McAuley and James Morrison secured the win for Pulis, whose side consolidated their hold on eighth place in the Premier League.
Positives
Matt Phillips continues to impress, taking his tally of assists to eight for the season as he provided two tremendous set-piece deliveries for Brunt and McAuley's goals. He was also the biggest threat West Brom had from open play, even in a slightly unfamiliar wing-back role.
