    Hull 2-0 West Brom

    Hull are up to 13th but are now only nine points adrift of the top-six themselves... they couldn't, could they?

    Hull have seen this match out in pretty convincing fashion, keeping their fourth straight home clean sheet and extending their unbeaten record at the MKM to seven matches.

    West Brom have now lost five in a row on their travels and remain six points adrift of the play-off places.

    A statement win for the Tigers.

  4. YELLOW CARDpublished at 90+4 mins

    Hull 2-0 West Brom

    Taylor Gardner-Hickman picks up a caution for a frustrated trip. Nearly over.

  5. Postpublished at 90 mins

    Hull 2-0 West Brom

    Four additional minutes for West Brom fans to endure.

  6. Postpublished at 87 mins

    Hull 2-0 West Brom

    Albion are not scoring in this match.

    Daryl Dike rises highest to nod down for John Swift, one of the most technically gifted players in the Championship, lurking with intent at the edge of the box.

    Swift gets it all wrong, slicing horribly and Jed Wallace can't do much better with the loose ball.

    When those two aren't connecting you might as well start the bus now.

  7. Postpublished at 85 mins

    Hull 2-0 West Brom

    Hull are seeing this out very professionally. Ozan Tufan is off, with Jacob Greaves, the subject of plenty of Premier League interest in recent months, coming on.

  8. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 80 mins

    Hull 2-0 West Brom

    Not a memorable night for Albion, but it will be for academy striker Rico Richards who is on for his league debut in place of Erik Pieters.

    The local lad has been with the club since the age of seven, he's now 19. His only previous action came in a cameo in a 6-0 EFL Cup defeat by Arsenal.

  9. Postpublished at 77 mins

    Hull 2-0 West Brom

    Oh dear.

    Adam Reach gets it all wrong as he meets a pull back from the right and scuffs his shot agonisingly, painfully slowly, off-target to howls of derision from the Tigers fans.

    Cruel sometimes, football fans.

    Hull 2-0 West Brom

    Ryan Longman is withdrawn by Hull, being replaced by Allahyar Sayyadmanesh, who has been out since January with a hamstring injury.

    The 21-year-old made a goalscoring return for City under-21s against Burnley on Monday.

  11. Postpublished at 74 mins

    Hull 2-0 West Brom

    Maybe we shouldn't be surprised... the hosts have not lost at the MKM Stadium since 12 November, when Reading snatched a stoppage-time winner. Hull clearly took that personally.

    They have four draws and two wins in the six games since the World Cup break, scoring in the first five of them and keeping clean sheets in the last three.

    Is that about to become four?

  12. GREAT SAVE!published at 71 mins

    Hull 2-0 West Brom

    Sub Adam Reach is back in the side and the former Sheffield Wednesday man tests Karl Darlow with a sweving drive from outside the area which the keeper turns around his left post.

    The Baggies are desperately trying to find the goal which would surely change the final 20+ minutes of this game dramatically.

  13. GREAT SAVE!published at 68 mins

    Hull 2-0 West Brom

    Karl Darlow is at it again, this time he reacts quickly to get his leg behind a rather snatched low effort from Jed Wallace in the box.

    Daryl Dike lashed well off-target shortly before. West Brom frustrations are rising.

  14. Postpublished at 65 mins

    Hull 2-0 West Brom

    Benjamin Tetteh's night is over, he leaves to a rapturous reception from the home faithful, to be replaced by 12-goal hostshot Oscar Estupinan.

    West Brom have also withdrawn Darnell Furlong, Jayson Molumby and Conor Townsend with Nathaniel Chalobah, Adam Reach and Taylor Gardner-Hickman entering the fray.

    No pressure, lads.

  15. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 64 mins

    Hull 2-0 West Brom

    John Swift thuds the inside of the post with a sublime free kick from just outside the box, the ball cannons across the goalmouth and away.

    Pretty much sums up West Brom's night.

    GOAL: Hull 2-0 West Brompublished at 57 mins

    Dara O'Shea OG

    Hull are in dreamland. A whipped inswinging corner from the left from Ozan Tufan is glanced into his own net by Dara O'Shea at the near post under pressure from Sean McLoughlin.

    Josh Griffiths stood no chance, but had denied Benjamin Tetteh with another angled strike to concede the corner seconds before.

  17. CLOSE!published at 55 mins

    Hull 1-0 West Brom

    Hull work a corner short and backwards towards Chelsea loanee Xavier Simons in acres of space. The 20-year-old fizzes a swerving drive from 30-yards narrowly past the base of Josh Griffiths' left-hand post with the keeper stock still.

  18. YELLOW CARDpublished at 52 mins

    Hull 1-0 West Brom

    Jayson Molumby is into the book after a late challenge on Benjamin Tetteh who was holding the ball up on halfway.

    Tetteh has removed his long-sleeved undershirt during the interval but retained the gloves with short-sleeves. Iconic.

  19. GREAT SAVE!published at 47 mins

    Hull 1-0 West Brom

    What a chance. Albion catch City napping down the right, Marc Albrighton slips in Jayson Molumby who pulls the ball back for Daryl Dike but he cannot connect cleanly from eight yards out and his first-time shot is blocked by Karl Darlow.

    Got away with one there, did Hull.

    We're back under way... a massive 45 minutes to come for both sides!
