Two young members of Albion’s Irish connection were on target as they went head-to-head in the Championship.

But only one of them was smiling at full-time.

Andrew Moran and Mark O’Mahony netted as Stoke City beat Portsmouth 6-1 in the Bet365 Stadium.

O’Mahony brought the visitors level at one point with his first goal for the club.

Moran was part of an avalanche of Potters goals either side of half-time.

He is looking to build on a good season on loan to Blackburn last term and headed to Stoke after signing a new deal with the Seagulls which expires in 2028.
