(Manchester United 1-0 West Bromwich) Bruno Fernandes (26) scored a penalty, missed a penalty and decided on a penalty.
– I am not happy. I scored on the second penalty, but missed the first and should have done better. We should have done a lot better, Bruno Fernandes tells DAZN.
The victory was far from over.
Anthony Martial might have had a hat trick in the first half alone, but Sam Johnstone in the West Bromwich cage kept up with that save better than the other.
Bruno Fernandes was a true virtuoso in midfield for the home team throughout the game and was scattered with magnificent passes. He is now the Premier League player who has created the most chances for his teammates (26).
Manchester United held a poor point in four home games, better than just Burnley, and were also under pressure to deliver at Old Trafford.

Criminal drama
Early in the second half, however, it looked like the terrible series would continue. Karlan Grant played well with Conor Gallagher, and Fernandes was left headless at tackle.
Portuguese where on the ball, but it took enough man for referee David Coote to signal the penalty spot.
However, the judges in the video wanted him differently, Coote had to look at the situation over and over again, eventually discovering that there was no punishment anyway.
– In my opinion, it’s a punishment, and here I think we were a bit lucky, says Ole Gunnar Solskjær to BT Sport.
– It’s a shameful decision. The judge did the right thing the first time. It is a clear punishment. How do you manage to reverse your decision like that? asks former cap giant Rio Ferdinand in BT Sports studio.
At that moment, Conor Townsend scored for a hat trick, outwitted the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper missed, 1 – 0 for the visitors.

More VAR help
Then it narrowed in the opposite direction. Juan Mata placed the ball in Darnell Furlong’s arms, Coote pointed to the penalty spot and Johnstone masterfully saved Fernandes’s attempt at the root of the post.
Once again, VAR wanted to have a voice on the team. The West Bromwich goalkeeper left the line too early and Fernandes had another chance.
– We were severely punished. “I have not been that far from the line that I was, but it is very disappointing,” Johnstone told the BBC.
He then hit the cash ball into the opposite corner, causing enormous frustration from West Bromwich coach Slaven Bilic. For the second game this season, the Portuguese was decisive on penalties.

Paul Pogba was completely out of the squad due to an injury sustained during his time with the national team, while Edinson Cavani once again refreshed Manchester United with his energy after the jump.
Away substitute Callum Robinson nailed the ball off the crossbar, Manchester United missed several chances as the visitors desperately tried to equalize.
In the end, Ole Gunnar Solskjær was able to unleash the jubilation for his first home victory in the Premier League since July 4.
– It is important to get the first victory at home, a lot has been said and written about it, continues Solskjær.
And for the first time this season, he has won two league games in a row.
