A spectacular strike from Jake Livermore was enough to seal the points at the KCOM Stadium – with the result ensuring the Baggies remain top of the Championship heading into the international break.

In what was a different type of display from Slaven Bilic's side, the likes of Furlong, Matt Phillips and Conor Townsend had to curb their attacking instincts to shackle a Hull side who are very effective on the counter-attack.

And Furlong felt Albion's work rate and organisation fully warranted all three points.

“We set out to do what we did – win the game, he said.

“To do that with a clean sheet as well, that’s all we needed to do, so I’m very pleased.
