Dominant Albion, impressive statistics and Morrison's impact: West Brom talking points from huge win over Hull

Albion had been dominant up to that point and continued on the front foot - before Aune Heggebo bagged a second goal.

And Isaac Price finished off a superb late move to bag a third and secure a precious three points.

Jonny Drury brings you some key talking points from the game:

Dominant Albion and impressive statistics

The display at Sheffield United was gritty - and it was repeated against Southampton, with Albion more front footed and more dangerous.

This one was dominant, from start to finish.

Albion hardly took their foot off the gas throughout the game - and kept their foot on Hull's throat.

You would have thought Albion were the side pushing for promotion - and Hull were the strugglers.

And the statistics underline how good Albion were. 68 per cent possession, 26 shots in total and most importantly eight on target.

It was like a throwback to days gone by where Albion just battered sides at The Hawthorns in the Championship during their automatic promotion chases.

It has been some turnaround under James Morrison's side - and bodes well for the run in.

Did the red make a difference?

Hull were reduced to ten men before the break - as Charlie Hughes was sent off for hauling down Jed Wallace when the winger was through on goal.

It caused debate, whether or not it was a sending off. Wallace was through on goal, so he has denied a goalscoring opportunity.

The next question is did it impact the game? To a degree it will have done, because Hull had to sit in and defend deep.

But even before they were reduced to ten men, Albion were all over the Tigers. They were the better side by far.

It may not have been so comfortable if it stayed 11 v 11 - but Albion would have won the game, because they were that good.

Making possession count

Albion have rarely had more possession in a game since Ryan Mason was in charge.

Even back then, they have only had more of the ball a handful of times.

Under Eric Ramsay they were happy to give up possession, and in the Sheffield United and Southampton games, it has been the opposition who have been on top in that department.

Go back further than that under the likes of Carlos Corberan and Albion would have more possession certainly in home games, without doing a lot with it.

But in this one, they made the possession count. They made an impact with the ball, it wasn't just passing for passing sake.

And that hasn't happened, certainly at The Hawthorns for a long, long time. They passed with purpose and created so much.

Collectively Albion almost played like Morrison would as a player. Play forward, try and make possession count and create chances.
