West Brom’s head coach, Carlos Corberan, expressed his satisfaction with his team’s performance in their 3-1 victory over Hull City, highlighting their effective defensive efforts and ability to manage the game. West Brom extended their winning streak to three consecutive wins with this result.
During the match, Hull City made crucial errors, with the first goal being gifted to West Brom due to a mistake by Jean Michael Seri, which Jed Wallace capitalized on. Although Hull managed to level the score with a superb goal from Lewie Coyle just before halftime, West Brom took control in the second half with goals from Matt Phillips and Semi Ajayi, securing the win.
Despite Hull’s dominance in possession, they struggled to create clear-cut chances in the challenging weather conditions, extending their poor record at the Hawthorns to seven successive defeats.
Corberan commented on his team’s performance, saying, “We knew today that we’d have to defend well, and defending well means being aggressive and solid. The team managed the game very well because we didn’t concede many chances in the first half.” He acknowledged the challenge posed by Hull City, a team known for their attacking style in the league.
He also praised his team’s ability to break Hull’s press and create quality actions leading to goals. Corberan emphasized the importance of maintaining a winning mentality and committing to compete in every game. He noted that while there is always room for improvement in both attacking and defensive behaviors, the players’ mentality, effort, and commitment serve as the foundation for the team’s success.
