Albion were blown away in 18 second half minutes as surprise package Hull climbed to joint top of the Premier League at the Hawthorns.

Three quick fire goals from the high-flying Tigers stunned Albion and silenced a sold-out Hawthorns, as Phil Brown's side claimed another victory in the battle of the newly promoted clubs.

The result meant Albion had conceded seven goals without reply in their last two outings, having been hammered in the second half at Manchester United a week ago.

But the victory was a defiant message from Championship play-off winners Hull, whose dream start to their first ever top flight season shows no signs of ending just yet.

There was little indication that an emphatic victory was on the way, as Tony Mowbray's Baggies edged a tight and goalless first half.

In fact it was the home side who went closest to breaking the deadlock, with two near misses before the break.

Things began to go wrong for the Baggies just three minutes into the second half, when Scott Carson made a brilliant save from Geovanni, only for Hull to take the lead from the resulting corner.

Central defender Kamil Zayatte got ahead of Paul Robinson to turn home Dean Marney's flag kick.

It was 2-0 in the 62nd minute, when Marlon King sprung the Albion offside trap and squared for Geovanni to beat Carson with a diving header.

King pounced on an error by Gianni Zuiverloon to grab a goal of his own in the 66th minute, ending any doubt over the result.
