Manchester United Vs. West Bromwich Albion Recap

John Lally, Staff Writer

On Saturday, November 7, Manchester United took on West Bromwich Albion in the English Premier League. The Reds were looking to move up in the table, however with wins from Manchester City, Arsenal, and newcomer Leicester City, their hopes seemed doubtful. The first half was very quiet, and there were not many chances created by either team and Manchester United was shutout in the past two games. However, soon after halftime U-21 star Jesse Lingard broke the scoreless drought in the 52nd minute. The rest of the match was very quiet, until stoppage time, when Juan Mata Garcia took advantage of a penalty kick and scored the game clinching goal. Manchester United’s next game is after the international break in two weeks against league newcomers, Watford. Three days after that, they take on PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League. If United wins, they will win their group and move on to the knockout stage of the Champions League.

Final: MUN 2 – WBA 0
