West Bromwich Albion come from a goal down to seal a 3-1 victory over Hull City at The Hawthorns in the Premier League.

West Bromwich Albion came from a goal down to see off Hull City 3-1 at The Hawthorns in the Premier League on Monday afternoon.

Tony Pulis's side have now earned back-to-back wins in the top flight thanks to goals from Chris Brunt, Gareth McAuley and James Morrison.

Robert Snodgrass gave the Tigers a deserved lead in the 21st minute, but they were pegged back and eventually left the stadium with nothing.

The visitors started brightly as Snodgrass forced a save from goalkeeper Ben Foster after curling a free kick around the wall and towards the bottom corner.

From a corner kick, Snodgrass's ball dropped to Michael Dawson, who attempted a volley, but the ball flew wide of the target.

Hull's dominance paid off when Ahmed Elmohamady's cross from the byline was volleyed into the far corner by Snodgrass, who claimed the team's first away goal since October.

The Baggies tried to respond when Allan Nyom picked out Salomon Rondon in the box, but the forward directed his header straight at the goalkeeper.

It was certainly a game of two halves as West Brom bounced back in the second by finding an equaliser in the 49th minute through Brunt, who hit a powerful header into the back of the net after meeting Matt Phillips's cross.

Pulis's men took the lead 13 minutes later when McAuley's header hit Sam Clucas just behind the line, but it took a while to be confirmed by referee Mark Clattenburg as he waited for the goal technology to signal the call.

The match was rounded off with a scrappy goal, which was nudged into the back of the net off James Morrison's shin after Rondon fluffed his attempt.

West Brom sit eighth in the standings on 29 points, while Hull remain in the relegation zone, three points off safety after 20 games.
