West Brom surge back to floor Flemming-less Burnley amid transfer speculation
West Bromwich Albion came from behind to beat Championship promotion favourites Burnley 3-1 at the Hawthorns, with Isaac Price scoring twice in the second half after setting up Harry Whitwell's equaliser. Burnley, missing injured striker Zian Flemming amid heavy transfer speculation, faded badly after the break, leaving Albion to maintain their unbeaten start to the season. The result lifts West Brom to second in the early Championship table, level on points but behind Millwall on goal difference.
Burnley took an early lead when Callum Styles turned the ball into his own net in the eighth minute, only for Whitwell to equalise ten minutes later with his first league goal for the club. Price then put Albion ahead for good just after half-time with a curling finish, before converting a penalty won by Whitwell after Bashir Humphreys' foul on him. The win marked West Brom's third straight victory in all competitions and their second in the league, extending their perfect start to the campaign.
