West Brom finally got back to winning ways at the weekend as they defeated Hull City 2-1 at the MKM Stadium.
The Baggies raced in to a two goal lead thanks to efforts from Karlan Grant and Josh Maja in a five-minute salvo. Joao Pedro scored five minutes from time but the Tigers couldn't find a response and Carlos Corberan's men were able to grind things out for a first win in eight.
Delivering his take on the match, Corberan said to BBC Radio West Midlands: "The Championship is a massive league this year. To win is very hard.
"We have only lost two games out of 15 this season - and we have 25 points. We can compete. It is a message that we need to understand.
"Hull are a very offensive team with quality, so I am very proud of the players.
"We played Thursday night and had only 66 hours to prepare for the game. They had two days more."
Going in to the international break, WBA are now fifth, and just six points off an automatic promotion spot. They have got Norwich City up next at the Hawthorns, and they'll be on the search for a response after losing to Bristol City, who ended their 21-game unbeaten run at home.
