West Brom boss Tony Pulis admits Hal Robson-Kanu has given him a selection dilemma after his spectacular winning goal against Southampton.
Welsh international Robson-Kanu scored with a spectacular drive from 20 yards out to give the Baggies a 2-1 victory after Shane Long and Matt Phillips had traded first-half goals.
It was Robson-Kanu's first league start in a season when he has been forced to play second fiddle to Salomon Rondon but Pulis says his attitude has been exemplary and admits he has given him food for thought ahead of Monday's clash with Hull City.
Pulis said: "Well on Monday I've got a decision now, haven't I?
"Hal's attitude round the club, his willingness to work and join in, even though he's only been basically a bit-part player, because of Salomon, has been fantastic.
"I can't speak more highly of his character. He's just so wholehearted. He gives you everything all the time.
"So we had no problems in starting him at Southampton - the difficult thing was leaving Salomon out, because he has been fantastic for us as well."
