Romelu Lukaku and Jesse Lingard were on target as Manchester United defeated West Brom 2-1 on Sunday to move back to 11 points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City.
Lukaku opened the scoring with a header in the 27th minute before Lingard doubled their lead eight minutes later with a shot that deflected off West Brom’s Ahmed Hegazi.
The Red Devils appeared to be heading for a comfortable win until Albion substitute Gareth Barry poked home from close range on 77 minutes.
