Match report

West Bromwich Albion beat Burnley 3-1 at The Hawthorns in the second round of the Championship season on Sunday. The hosts took an early shock when Callum Styles scored an own goal in the eighth minute, but Harry Whitwell restored the lead for the home side seven minutes later. Isaac Price netted twice — once from open play and once from the spot — to complete the scoring for West Bromwich. The match opened with a twist that caught everyone off guard. Styles' deflection in the eighth minute sent the ball into his own net, giving Burnley a fleeting advantage. Whitwell didn't keep them waiting long; his equaliser came in the 18th minute and set the tone for what followed. By then, the visitors had already seen Sonne pick up a booking. Price's first goal arrived on the stroke of half-time, following a substitution that saw Sonne withdrawn. He doubled his tally with a penalty in the 65th minute, and that proved to be enough to see out the game. Whitwell was eventually replaced in the 81st minute, but the result was never really in doubt after the break. West Bromwich dominated the numbers without dominating the tempo. They registered seven shots on target compared to Burnley's three, and their expected goals figure of 1.63 sat comfortably above the visitors' 1.18. Possession was evenly split at 51 per cent to 49, but the home side made more of their territory with six key passes against Burnley's nine. The result moves West Bromwich up to seventh place with seven points from four games, while Burnley remain 23rd on two points. The hosts have won two of their last five matches across all competitions, whereas the visitors have drawn twice and lost twice in the same span. This was a day when chances mattered more than possession, and West Bromwich took theirs. Burnley's defensive record has been fragile this season, and they offered little resistance after the interval. Five substitutions were made by the home side in the 57th minute alone, a sign of the depth they brought to control the game. Marcus Edwards was booked in the 70th minute, but by then the outcome had been decided long before the final whistle. The Hawthorns saw a straightforward afternoon for Albion, who have now won two of their last five matches in all competitions. Burnley travel with their heads down, sitting on just two points after four games. The Championship is a long road, but this result puts West Bromwich in a better position than they started from on Saturday night.
