The winger played a starring role in the second half to lay on two goals as Carlos Corberan's hosts made it three wins on the bounce by dispatching fancied Hull 3-1.

Diangana created for Matt Phillips to make it 2-1 and substitute Semi Ajayi to score a third after the hour mark at The Hawthorns. Jed Wallace had given Albion the lead but Hull were good value for 1-1 at the interval.

Former West Ham youngster Diangana spent six months on the sidelines between February and September but backed up scoring twice in two games with an assist double against the Tigers and celebrated raucously with the home fans at full-time.

Corberan told the Express & Star: "Diangana is one very special player, when he commits with the situation he is one player that can make a difference in the Championship.
