West Brom goes top after routing Portsmouth
West Bromwich Albion went top of the early-season EFL Championship table with a comfortable 3-0 win at Portsmouth, with Alex Mowatt scoring two sensational goals.
Mowatt struck twice in the second half after Josh Maja had given Carlos Corberan's men an early lead at Fratton Park, as Portsmouth's wait for a first win of the season continued.
Maja needed just 54 seconds to put Albion ahead, slamming home for his fifth goal of the season after Tom Fellows got to the byline to cut it back.
The visitors started the second half almost as quickly as they began the first, doubling their lead on 51 minutes as Mowatt curled home left-footed following fine combination play from John Swift and Karlan Grant.
If Mowatt's first goal was good, his second was outstanding as he capped the result in stoppage-time, whipping a free-kick into the top-right corner to give Norris no chance.
West Brom's fourth win of the season sees it move one point clear of Sunderland at the summit, while Portsmouth slips to 23rd, only taking three points since its promotion from League One.
