After ending their goalscoring drought midweek against CSKA Moscow, Manchester United ended their run of draws in the English top-flight with a comfortable 2-0 win against West Brom at Old Trafford.
With the away side sitting deep for majority of the game, chances were at a premium for United despite their lion’s share of possession.
Jesse Lingard stole the show with a well taken finish from outside the box to give the Reds their deserved opener while West Brom never looked to threaten and apart from a late Saido Berahino chance. David De Gea was more of a spectator than a player and Juan Mata wrapped up the points with an injury time penalty after Anthony Martial was hauled down by Gareth McAuley, which resulted in the Baggies man being given his marching orders.
Below are the Player Ratings in what was a confident display by the Reds at home:
