Before this game kicked off, Charlton were the ones riding high in the Championship compared to Southampton.

They started the day ninth in the table and nine places about Saints.

Right now, Southampton look irresistible while Charlton have simply been bamboozled.

Victor Torp runs into Mikey Johnston as the West Brom man is in mid-air heading the ball away.

Referee Andrew Kitchen dishes out the first yellow card to Torp.

Swansea have woken up after their sluggish start.

Once again, Bristol City keeper Radek Vitek is forced into a save after Adam Idah swipes at goal but Vitek remains a looming figure in front of the net to whack it out.

The Swans having the better chances now.

Karlan Grant makes a brilliant run down the left for West Brom - his cross eventually breaks to Jayson Molumby but Carl Rushworth makes an vital stop with his legs.

The away side are playing this perfectly - really getting numbers forward when they get away on the break.

I think the manager will be happy with Albion's start so far today, they look very organised.

Coming to Coventry who have been scoring goals for fun and to be a goal up in these opening stages, the manager will be very happy.

Wow!

A short pass to Josh Key in space provides the right-back an opportunity to place an excellent cross in towards an emerging Adam Idah.

Idah connects and takes a punt at goal but Robins keeper Radek Vitek is there to block it with his body.

Vitek isn't able to get his gloves on the ball though and Idah attempts to put the loose ball in the net but he's offside.

Swansea's interception works out and gives the visitors an opportunity to mount an attack.

It's pinged around the final third before Liam Cullen smashes it goal-bound from just outside the box.

It takes a small little nick on the way to take off the pace but Radek Vitek still needs to dive down low to parry it out for a corner.

That'll have interim boss Darren O'Dea feeling much more pleased.

Now Josh Eccles cuts out Chris Mepham's poor pass at the back but the Coventry man's shot is blocked.

We have a free kick for West Brom and an injury stoppage - a chance for us all to take a breath.

It's great though!

The best move of the match for Coventry.

Sakamoto does really well, Simms gets it and realises he can't strike it so he drops it off for Torp and it's great technique from him, it just kisses the top of the bar.

West Brom have a big back four, it may be a cut-back for a midfielder that will be more effective than normal.

Ellis Simms shields the ball back to Victor Torp.

The Dane strikes first time from the edge of the area and his effort thumps off Carl Rushworth's crossbar with the goalkeeper beaten.

Breathless...

How Southampton aren't 1-0 up at this point is amazing.

It's a poor touch from Finn Azaz that lets the Saints man down in the box. It allows Charlton goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski to smother the shot.

And from the resulting corner, Ryan Manning flashes a fierce effort just wide.

Plenty of encouragement for Saints' interim boss Tonda Eckert.

A huge chance for 2-0 to the visitors.

Aune Heggebo gets away from his marker but heads straight at Carl Rushworth.

Coventry looking rattled at the back.

Aune Heggebo's early goal is his second in two matches for West Brom.

He also got the winner against Oxford a fortnight ago - he's finding his feet in the Championship.

A cross to the far post almost catches out the Baggies but Ellis Simms fails to get a proper connection on his header.

Lively stuff.

Adam Armstrong has had a busy first 10 minutes at The Valley.

He lines up an effort from outside the box, but lashes over. Charlton goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski was never troubled.

Bristol City's Emil Riis tries a cheeky little backheel in the box but it's not fast enough to sneak past Swansea's defence.

The Robins appear to be finding the spaces rather easily though.

Swansea will need to keep on their toes if they don't want this scoreline to be as harsh a read as their last outing against Ipswich Town.

Mikey Johnston has done well there, won the ball back, it was poor play from Coventry.

He spotted Heggebo on the run and all he has to do is get his foot behind it and place it, he was in the right place and the right time.

A great start for Albion!
