August Priske's first-half penalty earned Birmingham City a 1-0 Sky Bet Championship win at The Hawthorns, ending West Brom's 10-match unbeaten home league run under James Morrison. Nat Phillips was again at fault, conceding the spot-kick.
Swansea City sit top of the Championship after eight games on the back of a high-press, miserly defence, while West Ham top the scoring charts with 22 goals despite a slow start. Middlesbrough and Wolves are in the mix, Wrexham show depth concerns and Burnley remain winless at the foot of the table ahead of the international break.
Fer Lopez capitalised on a Nathaniel Phillips mistake five minutes into the second half as Wolves beat West Brom 1-0 at Molineux to climb to fourth in the Championship, despite a heroic display from Albion goalkeeper Max O'Leary.
Burnley conceded a stoppage-time equaliser against Derby County to extend their winless home run, leaving head coach Nicky Hayen under intense pressure while supporters voice existential concerns over ownership debt.
