West Brom’s Isaac Price scored his first goal in English football but his side were pegged back by Hull’s late revival in a 1-1 Sky Bet Championship draw.
Price’s breakthrough came in the 68th minute after John Swift hit the bar in one of several missed Albion chances, only for Hull substitute Abu Kamara to equalise in the 80th minute.
The visitors were then denied three times by Albion goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith at The Hawthorns.
Early Albion pressure saw Adam Armstrong fail to connect properly from Price’s cross, while Karlan Grant delayed shooting and his cross was overhit for Johnston.
At the other end, Hull’s Mason Burstow volleyed just wide, before the hosts returned to the attack when Mikey Johnston’s low shot was gratefully gathered by goalkeeper Ivor Pandur.
Grant just failed to convert Jayson Molumby’s cross after a pass from Price, before Hull defender Charlie Hughes earned the game’s first booking after pulling down Armstrong as he chased Price’s pass.
Albion were dominating without troubling Pandur and there was a feeling that they had a reluctance to shoot at times.
On other occasions their timing was out. This was the case when Grant breezed past Sean McLoughlin only for Armstrong – flinging himself full length for a diving header – to fractionally miss his fellow striker’s cross.
Armstrong missed a clear chance five minutes before half-time when he scooped a shot over the bar from Molumby’s pullback.
Wildsmith had been a virtual spectator but he had to be alert to catch Matt Crooks’ deflected shot under pressure from Kyle Joseph for a looping ball.
Price was off target with a spectacular effort when his full-blooded volley from Torbjorn Heggem’s cross flew comfortably over the bar.
Albion began the second half with purpose and Swift sidefooted against the bar from just outside the area from Johnston’s square pass.
But Crooks glanced over from Hughes’ cross then Joseph missed Burstow’s inviting centre as Hull looked for the breakthrough.
Pandur was called into action in the 58th minute, repelling Price’s sidefooted volley at the far post from Heggem’s cross.
Former Everton youngster Price put the hosts ahead, guiding home a nonchalant volley from just outside the box after Hughes headed away Johnston’s corner.
Price was close to making it 2-0 with an almost identical effort from Heggem’s cross, but it skidded just wide.
However, it was 1-1 when Kamara – seven minutes after coming on – reacted first to bundle home following fellow substitute Kasey Palmer’s header across goal from Lewie Coyle’s deep cross.
Wildsmith then made successive diving saves, tipping away Joe Gelhardt’s shot then substitute Lincoln Henrique’s angled follow-up.
And Wildsmith foiled Kamara in a one on one after Joseph set him up on the break.
