Two goals from Karlan Grant ended West Bromwich Albion's awful run of form to give Steve Bruce his first win as Baggies boss against his former club Hull City.
Top scorer Grant flicked home Alex Mowatt's fine cross to give Albion the lead as the visitors bossed the first half at the MKM Stadium.
Grant then made it two from the penalty spot early in the second half after Taylor Gardner-Hickman had been brought down by Jacob Greaves.
Hull never really offered any sustained pressure, with Keane Lewis-Potter and Tom Eaves unable to make the most of decent chances.
