Hull City captain Michael Dawson has said that there are "positives" to be taken after the Tigers claimed a point from their encounter with West Bromwich Albion this afternoon.

Mike Phelan's side had been heading for their ninth defeat of the season after Gareth McAuley gave the visitors a first-half lead from a corner, but Dawson rescued a point for his side with a strike 18 minutes from time.

"There are positives to take - we had an awful lot of possession but it's disappointing to concede from a set piece like that - we will have to look at that in training," Dawson told BBC Sport afterwards.

"When you are 1-0 down you have got to take the game to them and I think we did.

"It's nice to score - I haven't scored three in a season in a while - but taking the three points would have been better."

The result moved Hull to 11 points in the Premier League table, with only goal difference keeping them in the dropzone.
