Alex Mowatt's brace, after Josh Maja became the Championship's leading goalscorer, sent West Brom top of the table with a clinical 3-0 victory over winless Portsmouth.

The in-form Maja bagged his fifth goal of the season inside the first minute - with only Manchester City's Erling Haaland scoring more goals in the top four divisions this season. Mowatt struck twice after the break to put the unbeaten Baggies a point ahead of Sunderland at the summit.
