See the summary in the video window at the top!
Manchester United had to face a pattern against an entrenched West Bromwich, but ultimately took all three points. After an awkward first half, Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s men woke up in the second.
Thus, they surpass the rival of the city, Manchester City, in the table and are located in ninth place with 13 points.
– It was important to get our first victory at home. You can see at the end that we were a bit tense and probably should have scored more goals. The season is going to be one of ups and downs. The league has yet to settle, because it is very even. Sometimes points are more important than achievements, says Ole Gunnar Solskjær in an interview with Sky Sports.
Bruno Fernandes was at the center of the event at Old Trafford. The Portuguese scored the only goal of the match when Manchester United won 1-0.
But it was not without controversy.
I got help from VAR
First, a penalty was thrown against the Portuguese, when he tackled Conor Gallagher. However, it was canceled after Judge David Coote looked at the VAR screen.

Second, Manchester United received a penalty after a Juan Mata cross hit Darnell Furlong’s arm. Fernandes went ahead, but had to see the penalty kick saved by the guests’ last defender, Sam Johnstone.
He should still have a new chance since Johnstone had left his line. On his second attempt, Fernandes never hesitated and put the ball high over the goalkeeper’s right.
– He is the one who represents the points and goal points at Manchester United. It didn’t work on the first try, but continued on the second, says TV 2 commentator Endre Olav Osnes.
– It’s not a good feeling, you have to be able to score on the first try. I’m not excited about that, but overall, three points was the most important thing, says Bruno Fernandes in an interview with Sky Sports.
Penalty situations at both ends
At 50 seconds into the second half, Conor Gallagher thought he had arranged a penalty for the visitors, after being attacked by Fernandes. Judge David Coote sentenced him first, but changed his mind after seeing the VAR screen.

– I think it will be the correct result. But I wonder if it is a clear and distinct error, because the judge cannot judge himself. But I don’t think it’s a penalty kick, says Brede Hangeland, a TV 2 soccer expert, in the study.
Callum Robinson was later very close when he hit the ball off the crossbar.
– How to see dry paint
The image of the match was expected in the first place. Slaven Bilic’s men defended deeply, while the home team rolled the ball to find the openings.

– It’s a boring first half. I mentioned that it was like watching paint dry. They are so free of ideas and it seems that whoever has the ball has to think of something, and the others wait to see what comes to him. Except when they counter, because then it’s world class, says Hangeland.
Anthony Martial was the biggest opportunity of the round. The Frenchman seized the opportunity from five meters, but a magnificent save by Sam Johnstone prevented the goal.
