Manchester United achieved their first home win in the current championship. The Red Devils prevailed with a minimum of 1: 0 over West Bromwich, as the goal fell after a second penalty from Bruno Fernandes.
Fernades’ first performance in the 56th minute was stopped by goalkeeper Sam Johnston, who happened to be in front of goal at the time of the shot.
Previously, Judge David Coote had awarded West Bromwich a penalty for Fernandes’ foul on Connor Gallagher. The VAR advised Kut to reconsider his decision, and he did.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer left Paul Pogba out with injury.
In the second minute, Martial dangerously aimed the ball at the visitor’s goal from five to six meters after a cross from a Mata foul, but the Johnston goalkeeper saved. Unfortunately for the hosts, this turned out to be the only situation in the first quarter of an hour, and the pace was not very high.
In the 16th minute, the visiting goalkeeper made another better save on United’s first really worthy attack with a few quick touches. Rashford centered on the ground from the left wing, and Fernandes bet the ball for Martial, who could not score from ten meters.
In the 28th minute Pereira kept Martial’s shirt slightly in the penalty area and the Frenchman was quick to fall, but no penalty was awarded even after the VAR test.
In the 42nd minute Ajay headed the ball after a cross from a corner sent the ball over the top post of the goal, guarded by De Gea.

45 seconds after the restart Gallagher was hooked by Fernandes in the penalty area and referee David Kut pointed to the white spot. For some reason, the judge was advised to watch the situation on video and decided to reverse his decision.
In the 53rd minute, Mata crossed into the penalty area and the ball caught a defender’s hand, which was enough for Kut to award United a penalty. Johnston saved Fernandes’ shot from the white point, but it came out in front of the goal line. From the second attempt, United’s Portuguese playmaker managed – 1: 0 in the 56th minute. This was Bruno’s 11th penalty in his 10-month stay in Manchester.
In the 64th minute, however, Calum Robinson, who had just entered, fired diagonally from the corner of the penalty area to the crossbar. 150 seconds later Fernandes with a pass from the right found Rashford in a clear position in the guests’ penalty area, but the English national could not get past Johnston, who distinguished himself with another magnificent save.

Cavani came into play and moved United’s attack. In the final minutes, the “red devils” decided that it was better to reduce risks and keep progress to a minimum, and their opponents did not create a scoring situation.
