29 minutes into the game when Januzaj had the ball on the left hand side and had looked to cross it into the box. The cross into the middle had been wonderful as it caused havoc inside the penalty area, defender Rafael had got to the ball first as his header had been saved by goalkeeper Ben Foster and then tipped onto the bar. 

4 minutes later as Rafael had won a free kick from the right hand side which Robin Van Persie would take as the travelling United fans had hoped for a goal. The cross had been close to the front post as Phil Jones had directed his header past Foster and into the right hand side of the goal. The United fans celebrate with relief as Jones scores his first goal of the season.

38 minutes into the match as Anichebe had got the ball under control and turned very well and let a shot fly as De Gea had seen the shot go only inches wide.
Coming into the end of the first half as Juan Mata's long ball to Van Persie on the right hand side had been intercepted by goal keeper Ben Foster outside of his box as the ball had bounced up and hit his hand. A talking point as it may have been accidental or a red card?

 
Half time as Man United go into the break 1-0 up after a headed goal from Phil Jones. 

Manchester United have had a lot more of the ball and have had the better chances but are only 1-0 up and that can still change.

West Brom have responded well and look more confident after going behind but have had 45% of the ball and may need a bit more to stay in the match.

6 minutes after the restart as Gera had the ball just outside the box as he had looked for the link up with striker Victor Anichebe as he had found the striker. Gera had continued his run into the box as the striker had rolled the ball back into him as Gera had a tight angle but couldn't roll it past De Gea.

Half way through the second half as a good interchange between Rooney and Mata had give the ball out wide to Rafael on the right hand side as the United fans down the other end tried to see were the ball was. Rafael's cross to the back post had found Wayne Rooney unmarked at the back post to head into an empty net! Rooney's streak against West Brom goes on as he has now scored seven goals in his last six games as the United fans celebrate with confidence as David Moyes applauds this fantastic team goal.

83 minutes had gone when Mata had given the ball to Rooney as the English striker had given the ball to Fellaini near the edge of the box as the big Belgium had given the ball back to Rooney as the United fans looked to be enjoying a game for once. Rooney had threaded the ball through to substitute Danny Welbeck on the right hand side as he adjusted himself and slotted the ball into the right hand corner another great team goal as Welbeck scores his 10th goal in all competitions as the Man United fans clap with agreement at how good this performance has been.

At full time as Man United cruise to a comfortable victory winning 3-0 to a place were it has not been easy for the top teams this season.

Manchester United looked like the old as the interchange in passing and the movement was 100% better as Danny Welbeck, Wayne Rooney and Phil Jones got on the scoresheet.

West Brom had some dangerous moments but couldn't take their chances and were made to pay the price as Pepe Mel job comes under more pressure.
Next up for Man United is a home visit for Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday 16th March 1:30pm.
