  "account": "Charlton secured a 2-1 victory over West Ham in their London derby on Saturday, maintaining their perfect start to the Championship season and putting pressure on manager Nuno Espirito Santo. Lloyd Jones and Tyreece Campbell put Charlton 2-0 up, but Joel Piroe, on loan from Leeds, scored a consolation goal on his West Ham debut. Taty Castellanos missed a penalty for West Ham as Charlton claimed two wins from their opening two matches. Southampton bounced back from their defeat to Watford, with Divin Mubama scoring a late goal in his home debut to help them win 3-1 against former club Stoke. Ryan Manning scored an injury-time penalty after Svante Ingelsson was sent off for bringing down Samuel Edozie. Despite being deducted four points and expelled from the Championship play-off final for spying on Middlesbrough's training session, Southampton still secured a 3-1 win. Wolves, who are under threat of a 12-point deduction for unpaid debts, secured their first win of the season with a 3-1 victory over Preston. Blackburn stunned Middlesbrough with two goals in the second half to win 2-1.",
