West Bromwich Albion 3-2 Swansea City: Baggies survive Swans fightback to claim first win

West Bromwich Albion claimed a first win of the season as they held on for a 3-2 victory in a remarkable game against Swansea City.

Semi Ajayi blasted West Brom into a first-half lead after Swansea failed to deal with a long throw.

Swansea goalkeeper Carl Rushworth turned the ball into his own net when another Albion set-piece was not cleared after the break, before John Swift's penalty looked to have finished the contest.

But having produced an abject performance until the final quarter, Swansea responded when Harry Darling headed home and then Nathan Wood bundled in his first senior goal to set up a grandstand finish.
