Josh Maja's impressive scoring run continued, but it wasn't enough to prevent West Bromwich Albion's 3-2 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough Stadium on Saturday, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The loss marked West Brom's first in seven Sky Bet Championship games this season.

Maja struck in the 65th minute, netting his seventh goal in as many league appearances for the Baggies.

The 24-year-old Nigerian forward played the full 90 minutes, maintaining his impressive form.

Compatriot Semi Ajayi also featured for West Brom, playing until the 83rd minute when he was replaced by Gianluca Fabrotta.

Maja's goal-scoring exploits have been a highlight of West Brom's strong start to the season.

Despite the setback, Corberán's team will look to bounce back, with Maja's continued prolificacy crucial to their promotion push.

West Brom remains among the Championship's top teams, and Maja's goals will be vital in their quest for Premier League return.

The Baggies' next outing against Middlesbrough will test their resolve, as they seek to regain momentum in the highly competitive Championship.
