Alex Mowatt dubbed ‘monster’ after what West Brom star did in front of Sky Sports cameras
Sam Parkin has dubbed Alex Mowatt “a monster” for his West Brom performance in the 3-0 win against Portsmouth on Sunday.
The 29-year-old matched his goal tally for last season at Fratton Park on 15 September with a second-half brace to earn all three points for the Baggies.
Parkin couldn’t laud the midfielder enough when discussing his display on What The EFL [19 September] and was left thoroughly impressed.
He said: “Alex Mowatt is getting the recognition that he deserves.
“I got involved in a little bit of digging; most touches, most tackles, 93 per cent pass success rate, most interceptions.
“This geezer was a monster at Fratton Park.”
Alex Mowatt looks a man-possessed for West Brom this season
Mowatt was instrumental for the Albion last term in helping his side reach the Championship playoffs and he has picked up where he left off this season in the heart of the midfield.
The former U20 England international alongside Jayson Molumby have forged a strong partnership in the middle of the pitch but is expected to be without his midfield teammate [Express & Star] for the match against Plymouth Argyle on Saturday [21 September].
John Swift and Ousmane Diakite are waiting in the wings to line up alongside Mowatt at The Hawthorns with summer signing Uros Racic still facing a long spell away from the first team while he regains his fitness.
West Brom are looking like genuine title contenders this season and are one of three unbeaten sides alongside Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield United having stolen an early march on Leeds United by opening a five point gap to their promotion rivals.
Mowatt extended his stay with the Baggies until 2026 over the summer, and the investment is returning in dividends with Carlos Corberan’s side sitting at the top of the Championship table after five matches.
The Spaniard will lean on all his squad players throughout the season to navigate the gruelling second-tier schedule, but the boss can rest easy knowing his midfield is safe in the hands of Mowatt.
