Albion have a deserved lead at the break, but when was one goal ever enough?

Isaac Price looks a class act and it was he who tucked the hosts into the lead on 15 minutes after Darnell Furlong's long throw caused havoc in the Rovers box.

Yuki Ohashi has come closest for the visitors with an angled effort which was blocked at the near post by keeper Josh Griffiths and also wanted a penalty after a tussle with Torbjorn Heggem just before the break.

Valerien Ismael has work to do if he is to maintain Blackburn's fine record against the Baggies, back on his old Hawthorns stomping ground.

Ooooof. Blackburn might well have had a penalty.

Yuki Ohashi gets the wrong side of Torbjorn Heggem on the right of the area and goes down under his challenge as he tries to turn into the middle.

David Webb is unmoved, despite appeals from the Japanese striker.

Oxford United go close just before the break Stan Mills firing in a cross to Will Lankshear only for Regan Poole to just do enough to put him off.

The subsequent corner comes to nothing and Oxford go in trailing.

No goals from either side as they goal in all square.

The home side have had the better of it and they have the lead to show for it too, albeit through a Ben Whiteman own goal.

The Potters have been in charge in terms of possession and chances but nothing between these two at the break.

Mark Robins' men ended last season with three successive blanks and he'll want them to get that monkey off their backs as soon as possible.

Stan Mills goes down under a bit of a clumsy challenge from Callum Lang but the referee waves away the appeal.

Replays show that the Oxford player was looking for that and gone down all too easily there. Good decision.

Honours even.

Not too much in the way of goalmouth incident, though Morgan Whittaker's fierce strike from range was brilliantly tipped onto the crossbar by Swans keeper Lawrence Virouroux and Ronald came close with a blockbuster effort from even further out which kissed the side-netting while Liam Cullen glanced a header straight at keeper Sol Brynn.

Nearly four bookings. Delano Burgzorg has a nibble at Goncalo Franco on halfway but this time Farai Hallam keeps his cards in his pocket.

Swansea have sprung a couple of decent attacks down the flanks but have offered precious little in the final third thus far, something for Alan Sheehan to ponder at the interval.

We have lift off, Portsmouth's new signing Adrian Segecic fires it into the back of the net!

It all came from Oxford's Cameron Brannagan playing a really sloppy back pass which Colby Bishop capitalised on.

Bishop almost seemed to have too much time as he ran through played his shot straight at Oxford keeper Jamie Cumming.

But the follow up was really well taken by Segecic, a powerful strike with his left foot into the right-hand side of the net.

Goncalo Franco clatters into Hayden Hackney on halfway, and it's not his first offence so ref Farai Hallam makes the Swans man the third booking of the opening half.

Millwall defender Japhet Tanganga is cautioned for a shirt pull.

Axel Henriksson is not a number 10, he looks a little bit lost.

There's no movement in the inner zones of West Brom. There's no movement from anybody.

Oxford fans finally have something to be encouraged about as Cameron Brannagan makes a burst down the left into space.

His low and powerful effort is well saved by Portsmouth keeper Nicolas Schmid but draws a big cheer from the Oxford fans.

After a dominant start to the game by Pompey, the U's seem to be getting back into this.

Cameron Brannagan forces a decent save after breaking sharply down the left flank.

Cutting into the area he unleashes a left foot shot which Nicolas Schmid gets down to his right to block at his near post.

Norwich seem to be running out of ideas when they reach the 18-yard box, Alex Neil will be pleased about that.

It's just all about getting that ball back because Norwich are in control.

First real sight of goal for Rovers as a low cross from the right breaks to Yuki Ohashi who battles to work some space before sliding in an angled shot from six yards out which Josh Griffiths does well to block at his near post.

Norwich City fans may be going 'crazy' over Mirko Topic's biceps with the Serbian getting his guns out for social media this week.

But his shooting has lacked a little bit of direction so far with the 24-year-old pulling another shot just wide.
