Carlos Corberán celebrated his 100th game in charge with a win as Albion beat Hull City 2-1 on Sunday.
Early efforts by Karlan Grant and Josh Maja earned them all three Sky Bet Championship points, despite Joao Pedro’s headed goal.
The Baggies - who now have a 13-day break until their match against Norwich City - sit 5th going into the November international break.
The boss made one switch following Thursday night’s Burnley draw, swapping Mikey Johnston for John Swift.
And the Irish international played a role in Albion’s 12th-minute opener, feeding the ball to Grant on the left and watching as he smashed home - via a deflection - the visitors’ first.
City very nearly equalised immediately when Xavier Simons rattled the crossbar from just outside the area.
Instead, though, Albion netted next. A well recycled move again involving Johnston saw Darnell Furlong’s excellent header set-up Maja, and he made no mistake converting at close-range.
But the Tigers did manage to pull one back - Pedro guiding a cross over Alex Palmer and in, leaving the clash finely poised come the interval.
Hull then continued creating after half-time. Mason Burstow had a low shot comfortably saved before, on the hour mark, Regan Slater should have probably levelled, nodding off-target despite being in a good position.
Down the other end Torbjorn Heggem was denied a spectacular goal, his overhead kick tipped over midway through the second period.
In the main Albion frustrated their hosts during the later stages, however they were indebted to Palmer for a good stoppage time save to keep out Abdus Omur’s free-kick and help them claim an important victory.
Albion: Palmer; Furlong, Holgate, Heggem, Styles; Molumby, Mowatt (Racic 65); Fellows (Diangana 54), Johnston (Diakite 79), Grant (Wallace 79); Maja (Dobbin 54).
