• Birmingham win 3-2 at Hawthorns, Reading 0-3 Sunderland
• Norwich edge Bristol City, Rotherham continue strong start

Scott Hogan’s hat-trick earned a 3-2 victory for Birmingham – their first at the Hawthorns since 2005 – as West Brom’s poor start to the season continued.

The visitors made a lively start and went ahead in the 14th minute, Hogan finishing low across goalkeeper David Button from Juninho Bacuna’s through ball. Jed Wallace levelled nine minutes later, calmly slotted through John Ruddy’s legs from Jayson Molumby’s pass as the teams went in level.
