Comments:

League position: 7th West Bromwich Albion failed in their attempt to equal their club record of four consecutive home wins in the Premier League. The Baggies failed to score for the second time in their last seven Premier League games. This was the second time in their last 19 Premier League games that Albion had lost by more than a one-goal margin.

Comments:

League position: 6th Manchester United had now lost only one of their last 12 Premier League games (won five). Had they lost this game, United would have equalled their lowest points total after the first 17 games of a Premier League season (27 in 1992-93 and 2001-02). Zlatan Ibrahimović had now scored 16 goals in all competitions so far in this season. Chris Smalling replaced Ander Herrera in the second minute of added time in the second-half.
