West Brom 2-2 Manchester United - Blind rescues point

Fellaini came off the bench to score within five minutes

I'm guessing no-one had Marouane Fellaini is their fantast yeam but if you did, he grabbed the first equaliser and Daley Blind got the second as United fought back twice to gain a valuable point.

Manchester United twice came from behind to snatch a deserved share of the spoils in a 2-2 draw against West Brom at The Hawthorns.

United went into the game looking for a first away win under boss Louis van Gaal's leadership, but found themselves a goal down at the half time interval to an early Stephane Sessegnon strike.

Substitute Marouane Fellaini got United on level terms early in the second half, but Saido Berahino appeared to have won the match for the Baggies with a goal against the run of play.

However Daley Blind emulated Fellaini by also scoring his first goal for the Red Devils in the closing minutes to snatch a point which takes them up to sixth position on 12 points.

Alan Irvine will be disappointed his West Brom side could not hang on but the draw moves them up a place to 13th in the Premier League on nine points.

West Brom started the game well and pinned United back from the first whistle so it was no surprise when they went ahead in the eighth minute.

Andre Wisdom got clear down the right wing before picking out Sessegnon on the edge of the area and the forward lashed a first-time strike into the top corner past David De Gea.

Boaz Myhill, in the Albion goal in place of the injured regular number one Ben Foster, did well to prevent Robin van Persie from equalising two minutes later as the Dutch striker got on the end of Angel Di Maria's defence-splitting pass down the left of the area.

Di Maria collected a long ball forward from Blind before he turned and shot from the edge of the box on 19 minutes, but Myhill was again equal to the task.

Berahino was inches away from giving West Brom a two-goal lead on 24 minutes as he lunged in at the back post but failed to get on the end of a Graham Dorrans cross from the right wing.

Myhill was called into action just after the half-hour as he parried away a stinging left-foot strike from Di Maria after the Argentine had been teed up by Van Persie on the edge of the box.

Van Persie was next to force a save from the Albion custodian on 38 minutes when he got the better of Joleon Lescott down the right side of the box but opted to shoot from a tight angle instead of looking to pick out Juan Mata who was better placed.

Fellaini was pitched into the action at the interval and the Belgian made an immediate impact as he brought down Di Maria's cross before brushing aside Lescott and then hit a rising strike into the roof of the net from the edge of the area on 48 minutes.

It was all United until Albion hit them on the counter-attack to re-take the lead in the 65th minute.

Chris Brunt sent the in-form Berahino clear of the defence and he coolly fired his effort past De Gea from the edge of the area.

United responded well to going behind for a second time in the game and went close when Van Persie hit the post in the 74th minute before Adnan Januzaj fired over from the rebound.

But with three minutes of normal time remaining Blind was first to a Lescott clearance on the edge of the Albion area and he hit a low strike beyond the dive of Myhill to snatch a point for the Red Devils.
