Mike Norman rounds up the In-Play odds action from Monday night's game in the Premier League featuring West Brom and Manchester United...

West Brom and Manchester United fought out a thrilling 2-2 draw at the Hawthorns on Monday night, a result that leaves Louis van Gaal still searching for his first away victory in his new job.

Following a bright Start the Baggies took the lead in the eighth minute, and what a tremendous goal it was.

A long ball up field eventually found the feet of Andre Wisdom who squared the ball into the path of the on-rushing Stephane Sessegnon. The midfielder - without a league goal to his name this season - struck the ball first time with superb accuracy into the top corner beyond David De Gea's despairing dive, rewarding those who backed the Benin international at 21.020/1 in the First Goalscorer market.

United came back into the game following their early set-back, but despite lots of possession and some promising positions - Angel Di Maria undoubtedly being their chief threat - they failed to create a clear cut chance on goal.

The 1-0 Half Time Score was matched at 8.88/1 with West Brom being matched at 6.05/1 in the Half Time market.

Van Gaal made a substitution during the interval, withdrawing the ineffective Ander Herrera and replacing him with Marouane Fellaini.

And it was the Belgian who made an immediate impact in the second half, bringing his side level with a fantastic strike from the right-hand side of the area after brushing aside Baggies defender Joleon Lescott.

Fellaini was matched at 18.017/1 To Score at anytime during the game.

The Red Devils looked a much improved side with Fellaini on the pitch, and for 20 minutes following the equaliser they looked by far the most likely side to score the next goal. But to the home crowd's delight it was West Brom who regained the lead.

A superb defence-splitting pass by Chris Brunt was latched onto by in-form striker Saido Berahino and the youngster made no mistake as he raced clear of Rafael before slotting the ball into the far corner. The England Under-21 star was matched at 7.613/2 In-Play to score at anytime.

United came close to an equaliser when Robin van Persie struck the post, but just when West Brom looked to have contained the former champions up popped Daley Blind to score his first goal for his new club to bring the scores level once more at 2-2.

The Dutchman was matched at 28.027/1 to find the net at anytime.

A tense finish saw some desperate defending by the home side but Alan Irvine's men hung on for a deserved point in a thoroughly entertaining game.

The Draw was matched at a high of 6.611/2 In-Play, while the 2-2 Correct Score was matched at 21.020/1.

The result leaves United a full 10 points behind league leaders Chelsea and the Old Trafford outfit can now be backed at 28.027/1 in the Premier League Winner market. They'll undoubtedly settle for a Top 4 Finish however, for which they can be backed at 1.684/6.
