    Kieffer Moore stoops in to nod home Nathan Byrne's cross.

    It's Moore's second, it's Wigan's fifth and it's going to be four defeats on the bounce for Hull City.

    West Brom 0-0 Fulham

    Near post save for West Brom keeper Sam Johnstone is an easy one as Bobby Decordova-Reid goes for the shot after being put away by Aleksandar Mitrovic.

    Then at the other end, West Brom break, Grady Diangana bangs another cross in which whizzes through to safety.

    Diangana is off, Callum Robinson comes on as Slaven Bilic tries to win this one. Six to go.

    West Brom 0-0 Fulham

    West Brom's team-wide handball appeals of late reminiscent of a cricket team surrounding a tail-ender with a match conclusion in sight. "HANDBALL!" near roared and echoing around The Hawthorns.

    Nothing doing though.

    Here comes Matt Phillips, dashes into the box but he's eased off the ball at the key moment.

    Fulham hardly springing into life though on the break...

    Reading 1-0 Middlesbrough

    Djed Spence should have equalised for Middlesbrough here.

    Marcus Tavernier sends in a wonderful cross from the left, Spence heads it back from where it came from, but it's a yard wide of the post.

    Wigan are destroying Hull.

    The impressive Jamal Lowe adds goal number four - he takes down a cross beautifully and smashes it home with his second touch.

    Who'd be Grant McCann now? Who'd be a Hull fan now?

    West Brom 0-0 Fulham

    Josh Onomah is off, Stefan Johansen, who made such an effective cameo at Cardiff, is on.

    Fulham under the pump a bit though at the moment.

    Michael Hector has to scurry across to block Conor Townsend's cross. Slaven Bilic is ranting like a bloke who has got two buses to town only to be told the Post Office parcel collection desk is closed. He wanted a handball.

    Bad news for Middlesbrough's survival prospects as Liam Moore turns the ball home from a corner to put Reading in front.

    Goals galore at the DW.

    Kieran Dowell joins in the Wigan party - good work once again from Jamal Lowe to play in Dowell who finishes the move and probably Hull City for tonight too.

    West Brom 0-0 Fulham

    It's all going off now.

    Hal Robson-Kanu makes a dart in the box but Harrison Reed gets across to block. Brilliant by the Fulham midfielder.

    Danger not cleared as the corner comes in and Aleksandar Mitrovic makes a clumsy challenge.

    Matheus Pereira sizes up the free-kick, we wait with bated breath, but he scuds it into the wall and looks on with frustration.

    Still waiting for the breakthrough.

    It should be THREE for Wigan.

    Kal Naismith rattles the post with an effort.

    ANTHONY KNOCKAERT WITH A SIZZLER. OFF THE BAR!

    Route one stuff from the Cottagers with a punt up to Aleksandar Mitrovic who flicks on...

    Knockaert nips in ahead of napping defenders to bring down the ball and scissorkick a half-volley off the bar. Cracking effort.

    Semi Ajayi! Oh... big leap but he's headed it wide. Great ball in from the left with the corner West Brom close!

    Wigan extend their lead, look away Hull fans it's not looking good.

    Jamal Lowe nutmegs the defender, finds Kieffer Moore in the box who finishes it superbly.

    I was so flabbergasted at Grady Diangana not finishing that effort off, I lost the ability to write accurate English.

    HOW HAS GRADY DIANGANA MISSED THIS?!

    The West Brom wideman is picked out by Hal Robson-Kanu's flick on and brings the ball down at the back post.

    It's a terrific chop-back to deceive Tim Ream who rushes in and then with the goal gaping, he tries to curl it to the far post but Marek Rodak gets the faintest touch to ease it wide.

    Then, Semi Ajayi heads wide, again at the far post, from the corner. West Brom had two belting chances there.

    Right, drinks.

    HOOF from Sam Johnstone after a ball into the box just won't fall for Bobby Decordova-Reid. West Brom belt it clear.

    Semi Ajayi's a cool customer isn't he? A few times he's just been 'Johnny on the spot' to mop up.

    West Brom 0-0 Fulham

    Joe Bryan's cross blocked at the expense of a corner and the same player swings in a peach for Fulham.

    Aleksandar Mitrovic gets up to it, heads into the turf and it springs up goalbound but Semi Ajayi is able to nod clear.

    Now West Brom bring on Hal Robson-Kanu for Charlie Austin who has toiled to no real reward.

    West Brom 0-0 Fulham

    Grady Diangana is imposing himself on the left side for West Brom, slipping Conor Townsend in for a crossing position which is headed behind.

    The corner is covered safely by the Cottagers' back four.

    West Brom 0-0 Fulham

    Slaven Bilic is chuntering on the touchline, pacing up and down, gesticulating wildly and generally kicking every ball, heading every cross etc.

    Scott Parker was all hand signals but raised a smile. Still satisfied.

    Wigan 1-0 Hull

    Another chance for the hosts - Antonee Robinson makes a great run into the box and plays a lovely pass for Jamal Lowe but the latter puts it just wide of the post.

    Wigan should be two up.
