Hull City boss Steve Bruce was happy for goalscorer Shane Long after their 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion.
Long won the penalty which led to the Tigers' opener for Liam Rosenior then fired home the second himself to secure a 2-0 win over struggling West Brom.
The Ireland international had surprisingly been allowed to leave The Hawthorns in January when Bruce also brought in former Everton striker Nikica Jelavic.
Bruce said: "The two strikers came in at just the right time and have given the whole club a boost.
"We didn't play well today by any stretch of the imagination but if you have got that bit of quality at the top end of the pitch they can create something and they will always be a handful with the attitude they've got."
Jelavic's penalty was saved by Baggies keeper Ben Foster but Rosenior was on hand to head home the rebound and score his first senior goal since October 2009.
Bruce added: "Shane is never going to dive - he's as genuine as they come. But when you move as quickly as he does, you are going to go over with the slightest little tap
"It might be a soft penalty but Chris Foy is close and maybe he's seen and heard some contact."
