Grant expressed his satisfaction and sent a message to supporters after Albion's win at Hull.
West Bromwich Albion star Karlan Grant has hailed his side's fans for their support, following their 2-1 away win at Hull City on Sunday afternoon.
Taking to X, Grant wasn't afraid to celebrate what was a much-needed win for the Baggies, who had gone on a long winless run prior to this clash at the MKM Stadium.
This poor run started during the latter stages of September, with Sheffield Wednesday securing a 3-2 win against Carlos Corberan's men.
And Albion went on to be winless for eight league games in total, drawing six of those games.
Even though they managed to get points in six of the matches, the fact they were only able to register six points from a possible 24 was a costly period for Albion, who will be hoping to secure another top-six finish this season.
In a couple of those games, they had taken the lead. Having gone 1-0 up at Oxford United through Karlan Grant, they would have been frustrated about Dane Scarlett's late equaliser.
They will also be frustrated about the fact they were unable to secure all three points at Kenilworth Road against a struggling Luton Town side, after taking the lead through Josh Maja.
Coming into Sunday afternoon's game against Hull, they needed a victory, with the winless run and the upcoming international break in mind.
Grant's deflected shot put the Baggies 1-0 up at the MKM Stadium early on - and Josh Maja doubled Albion's lead five minutes later to put Corberan's men in a very strong position.
Joao Pedro pulled one back for the hosts shortly before the break, but Tim Walter's side were unable to grab an equaliser in the end and this allowed Albion to pick up a much-needed victory.
Heading into the break in 5th place, the Baggies will be feeling much better, even though they will be frustrated not to have picked up more points.
Grant, who has been a real asset this season and able to revive his spell at Albion, will be extremely pleased that he's been able to add to his goal tally.
And he took to X to express how he felt after the final whistle at the MKM Stadium, posting: "That one felt good! Back to winning ways🙏🏽. Travelling support was 🔥"
Albion will be pleased to have ended their winless run.
This result came against a struggling team, but the fact they were able to end this run away from home is promising.
It should help to give them plenty of confidence - and they will feel much better after managing to register three points.
The feeling of a winless run during the international break wouldn't have helped Albion - and it may have even been a burden - so the fact they don't need to think about that anymore is a boost.
Grant can feel especially happy after managing to register another goal, but he and his team need to focus on upcoming fixtures after enjoying Sunday's win.
