Fulham boss Mark Hughes is full of praise for what West Brom have achieved under his old Chelsea team-mate Roberto Di Matteo.[LNB] Albion extended their unbeaten run to seven games in all competitions by coming from behind to seal all three points against the Cottagers at the Hawthorns on Saturday.[LNB]The visitors went ahead early on when Scott Carson pushed Zoltan Gera's shot on to the post, only for it to bounce back against the goalkeeper and over the line. [LNB]But the Baggies were soon level through Youssouf Mulumbu before Marc-Antoine Fortune's strike turned things around in the 40th minute.[LNB]Hughes felt there had been players in offside positions for both of West Brom's goals, but was gracious in defeat.[LNB]"They are a good side," Hughes said.[LNB]"With the calendar of fixtures they had at the beginning of the season, they have played all the so-called top five and taken points from most of them, so credit to them.[LNB]"They have had a fantastic start, although I thought we were a match for them for decent periods.[LNB]"Goals change games and in the end we didn't ask enough questions of them to overcome them in the last period, when we needed a bit of momentum to try and get back on level terms.[LNB]"But a lot of teams will struggle here I am sure."
