EPL top four race tightens as Man Utd draw West Brom

Manchester United on Sunday lost further ground to their English Premier League title race as they drew 1-1 with West Brom.

Bruno Fernandes’ stunning volley salvaged a point for Manchester United at struggling West Brom but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side moved back above Leicester in second place and seven points behind leaders Manchester City, who also have a game in hand.

The Baggies took a shock lead after just 83 seconds as an on-loan striker, Mbaye Diagne outmuscled Victor Lindelof to head in from Conor Gallagher’s cross.

United was finding it difficult to make inroads in a lacklustre opening period until Fernandes hooked Luke Shaw’s cross into the top corner with his weaker left foot.

The visitors improved in the second half, Mason Greenwood testing Sam Johnstone with a low strike and Scott McTominay seeing his follow up cleared off the line.

With time running out, skipper Harry Maguire leapt to send his header towards the top corner, but Johnstone tipped the effort against the post to deny United an injury-time winner.

Sam Allardyce’s side could have won the match late on but Diagne struck his effort over the crossbar from six yards out.
