This week, a young side were humbled but showed a lot of pride, a newly promoted side continue to fly high, and of course late drama, all in the EFL League One.<\/p>\n<h2>EFL League One Review: Matchweek 3<\/h2>\n<h3>Sunderland Come from Behind<\/h3>\n<p>In the EFL League One early kick-off, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/sunderland\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sunderland<\/a> came from behind to beat Portsmouth. Marcus Harness put Pompey in front at the Stadium of Light. However, Jordan Wills equalised just five minutes later making it 1-1.<\/p>\n<p>Then, six minutes before half-time, Chris Maguire scored the game&#8217;s winner for the Black Cats, as they beat Portsmouth 2-1. That was Sunderland&#8217;s first win this season, and Portsmouth&#8217;s second defeat.<\/p>\n<p>While it remains early days, one would assume both sides will be up there once again come the end of the season.<\/p>\n<h3>Lincoln City Top of EFL League One<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a dream start to life in League One for Lincoln City. Promoted from League Two last season, their momentum doesn&#8217;t appear to be stopping anytime too soon.<\/p>\n<p>Danny Cowley&#8217;s side ran riot as they beat Southend United 4-0 at Sincil Bank on Saturday, as they now sit top of the league.<\/p>\n<p>Jason Shackell and Harry Toffolo scored the Imps&#8217; first-half goals. Then, Tyler Walker converted a penalty in the 48th minute to add a third, and finally Bruno Andrade made it 4-0 with nine minutes to play.<\/p>\n<h3>Bolton Taken Apart but Hold Heads High<\/h3>\n<p>Another week, more misery for Bolton Wanderers. They were thumped 5-0 by Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park but, despite the scoreline, the fans, players and staff can continue to be proud.<\/p>\n<p>Ollie Banks, Morgan Ferrier scored twice, Conor Jennings and Stefan Payne all contributed to Rovers five goals.<\/p>\n<p>The Trotters remain rotted to 23rd with -11 points, due to Bury not playing a single game yet this season.<\/p>\n<h3>How Did We Do?<\/h3>\n<p>Each week, we have a go at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2019\/08\/16\/efl-league-one-preview-matchweek-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">predicting the league&#8217;s results<\/a>.
