Championship roundup: Sunderland maintain perfect start at Portsmouth
- Romaine Mundle scores third as Black Cats win 3-1
- West Brom into top two with 1-0 win over Swansea
Sunderland continued their perfect start to the Championship season with a 3-1 win over Portsmouth. The Black Cats have a 100 percent record and, despite conceding for the first time in almost seven hours in stoppage time, they cruised to victory on the south coast. Zak Swanson’s calamitous own goal, Alan Browne’s close-range effort and Romaine Mundle’s fine end to a counter attack continued Sunderland’s best start to a season for 99 years – where they also began with a quartet of victories.
West Brom climbed into the top two by continuing their unbeaten start to the season with a 1-0 win against Swansea at The Hawthorns. Jayson Molumby’s first goal for 16 months gave Albion a deserved lead in the first minute of time added on at the end of the first half.
