West Bromwich Albion secured their third consecutive win in all competitions and second in the league with a 3-1 comeback victory over promotion favourites Burnley at the Hawthorns. The result was confirmed by The Guardian Football.
Isaac Price inspired West Bromwich Albion to a 3-1 comeback win against Burnley in the Championship. The Northern Ireland international scored twice in the second half after setting up Harry Whitwell's equaliser to cancel out Callum Styles's early own goal. Burnley, without injured star striker Zian Flemming, failed to match their lofty billing in a disappointing second-half display.
Albion continued their 100% start to the season, gaining their third straight win in all competitions and second in the league to lie second in the early table behind Millwall on goal difference. Burnley's promotion hopes have been dealt a blow. The match was a fast start, with two goals in the first 18 minutes. Styles put into his own net in the eighth minute from Jacob Bruun Larsen's cross. Whitewell equalised on 18 minutes when he slotted home low from 12 yards for the 20-year-old's first league goal for Albion.
Burnley made a triple change in the 57th minute, but it was Albion who struck next to effectively seal it. After Humphreys upended Whitwell for a clear penalty, Price made no mistake from the spot, firing low to the right. The next match for West Bromwich Albion is against Millwall, while Burnley face a tough test against West Ham.
