The Baggies looked up against it after 35 minutes when Fabio Carvalho scored a cracking goal from distance that swerved into the top-left corner.

But Corberan's men responded manfully and equalised after 43 minutes after Darnell Furlong's header off Jed Wallace's corner looped over Ryan Allsop.

Boss Corberan said: "A point was the fair result for what both teams created on the pitch.

"We both had similar types of chances and a similar number of chances.

"When you don't win the game, it's important not to lose.

"I think that the quality of players Hull have right now.

made it difficult for us and we needed to concentrate in defence to get something.

"Our defence was key to getting something out of the game, but we need to improve in two key parts: don't concede possession and create chances.
