Tony Pulis won his second game in a row since replacing Alan Irvine at West Bromwich Albion, beating Hull 1-0 thanks to a second half goal from Saido Berahino. The victory was only WBA's third home victory of the season in the Premier League, but in truth it was a game of little quality or real incident, and the Baggies will just be happy to have taken the point.

- Robbie Brady was Steve Bruce’s 1000th substitution in Premier League history (Brady came on for Nikica Jelavic).
- Saido Berahino has netted 6 in his last 3 games for the Baggies in all competitions.
- Berahino is the second-highest scoring Englishman in the top division this season, with 9 goals (Charlie Austin is top with 13).
- The Baggies registered their first win in 5 Premier League games and only their second in their last 11.
