Baggies’ Mason left ‘emotional’ after defeat to City

RYAN Mason was left stunned by Nat Phillips’ handball, which proved the decisive moment in West Brom’s 1-0 defeat at Hull City on Saturday.

- 

Phillips inexplicably waved his hand at a Ryan Giles corner deep into added time at the end of the first half, which gave Oli McBurnie the chance to convert the game's only goal.

McBurnie slotted in the spot-kick, and from there, Albion rarely looked like avoiding an eighth straight away defeat to leave them nine points adrift of the inform Tigers, who moved fourth after 22 games.

Albion should have been in front early in the contest, but Karlan Grant and Isaac Price spurned glorious chances and were made to pay by McBurnie.
