West Bromwich Albion boss Alan Irvine relieved to stop losing run

West Bromwich Albion manager Alan Irvine admits his relief after the Baggies ended a five-match losing run with a 0-0 draw against Hull City at the KC Stadium.

Alan Irvine has admitted his relief at his West Bromwich Albion side ending their five-match losing streak with a 0-0 Premier League draw at Hull City.

The Baggies boss was pleased with their performance, but was wondering what might have been after Graham Dorrans missed a seventh-minute penalty.

"It's good that we've stopped the run of defeats," Irvine told BBC Sport.

"If we score the penalty then everything can be so different. There was a big effort from the players. Hull are scrapping at the moment, so we knew it would be difficult.

"It was a blow to miss the penalty after a good start. But, we went on and our players battled very hard, they can be pleased with how they performed today."

The point kept Albion, who host Midlands rivals Aston Villa next weekend, 16th in the table.
