Price is right as brilliant Baggies ease drop fears

STRUGGLING West Brom posted their first Championship victory in 14 matches as they swept aside playoff hopefuls Hull to breathe life into their survival chances.

- 

Josh Maja opened the scoring in the 23rd minute when he turned in Jed Wallace's cross, and strike partner Aune Heggebo doubled the advantage in the 68th minute - by which point the Tigers had been reduced to 10 men having seen Charlie Hughes dismissed for denying a goalscoring opportunity.

Isaac Price added a deserved third late in the game as Albion moved out of the relegation zone.

The hosts made the faster start and Hull goalkeeper Ivor Pandur was quickly off his line to twice deny Heggebo.
