Half-Time Report: Graham Dorrans misses first-half penalty for West Bromwich Albion at Hull City

West Bromwich Albion midfielder Graham Dorrans misses a penalty with his side playing out a first-half goalless draw against Hull City in the Premier League.

West Bromwich Albion midfielder Graham Dorrans has missed a first-half penalty with his side currently locked in a goalless game against Hull City at the KC Stadium in the Premier League this afternoon.

Graham Dorrans of West Brom has his penlaty kick saved by goalkeeper Allan McGregor of Hull City during the Barclays Premier League match on December 6, 2014

Victor Anichebe looked to threaten early on for the visitors and he appeared to be pulled back by scrambling defender Michael Dawson, only for referee Michael Oliver to wave away any protests for a penalty, much to the crowd's dismay.

The striker seemed in fantastic form and he eventually won the penalty he deserved after he was tugged by Jake Livermore inside the box, but Allan McGregor pulled off a fine save to keep out the spot kick from Dorrans and keep a 100% penalties-saved record in the Premier League.

Hull failed to provide anything going forward in the opening 30 minutes as David Meyler appeared the only concerned presence in midfield, with his shot from distance blocked on its way to goal.

Going into the final stages of the first half Steve Bruce's men produced their first noteworthy chance of the game, as Ahmed Elmohamady sent in a teasing ball for striker Abel Hernandez, who headed wide of the right post as the sides went into the interval on level terms.
