Manchester United 1-0 West Brom: Bruno Fernandes steps up again from the penalty spot with Red Devils edging to first home league win of the season after more VAR drama denied visitors their own spot-kick

Manchester United edged to a sluggish 1-0 victory over West Brom with Bruno Fernandes on target from the penalty spot for the third time this season in the Premier League.

Fernandes was able to keep his composure and fire beyond Sam Johnstone at the second time of asking, with his first effort superbly clawed out by the impressive West Brom keeper. A retake was ordered with Johnstone caught off his line for the save.

More VAR drama saw the visitors denied a spot-kick of their own before United took the lead. Fernandes, soon to be the hero at the other end, was deemed to have clipped Conor Gallagher inside the box.
