Bruno Fernandes scored a sensational volley for Manchester United to maintain their unbeaten away record, but they could not seal all three points against West Brom in a 1-1 draw
But once again, United fell behind early on when Mbaye Diagne nodded West Brom into a shock lead after just 83 seconds
 But, having taken 21 points from losing positions this season, there was hope for United
Despite a sluggish first-half performance, it was another moment of magic from Fernandes (44) that hauled the visitors level as he fired home a powerful volley
United were much improved after the break and had a penalty overturned by VAR after it judged Semi Ajayi had not made enough contact to foul Harry Maguire
West Brom could also have snatched a late winner, but Diagne missed two glorious chances, while Maguire saw an effort tipped over the bar by Sam Johnstone with the last kick of the game
United's unbeaten away run in the Premier League now stands at 19 games and they go back into second on goal difference, seven points behind leaders Manchester City
 The draw does little to boost West Brom's hopes of survival as they remain in 19th with 13 points
It took less than two minutes for West Brom to score
 Diagne was a handful against Spurs and made himself even more of a nuisance against United
 Connor Gallagher looped a cross into the area and Diagne wrapped himself around the back of Victor Lindelof to not the ball home
 The United defender was calling for a foul but in truth, Diagne was just physically stronger
Both sides sent efforts wide just after
 A superb Marcus Rashford cross was seen behind by Lee Peltier just ahead of Anthony Martial before Diagne headed wide from a Matheus Pereira free-kick
 David de Gea then made a good save to tip a powerful Robert Snodgrass header over the crossbar
Despite a sluggish first-half performance, United dominated the ball with 71
1 per cent possession and finally made it count just before half-time
 It was a sensational finish from Fernandes too as Luke Shaw floated a cross in from the left, with the midfielder firing home a powerful volley to haul the visitors level
United were much better after half-time, and were awarded a penalty just after the hour mark
 Maguire had gone down with Ajayi at his back and Craig Pawson tentatively pointed to the spot
 But after a check of the pitchside monitor, the referee withdrew his decision with not enough contact made to give the foul
 Maguire also look to be offside in the build-up, although this did not appear to have been checked
United could have added another soon after, but were denied on the line
 Maguire nodded down Shaw's corner, finding Mason Greenwood, but his attempt was stopped by Johnstone's outstretched foot
 Scott McTominay then tried to net the rebound but Darnell Furlong cleared off the line
Diagne had missed two excellent chances to score another late on
 After using his physicality to get past Lindelof for the opener, he did the same thing to Maguire at the top of the area, before seeing his effort saved by De Gea
 The goalkeeper then clawed away the striker's attempt to nod home the rebound
 Soon after, he blazed the ball wide after a superb cross from Furlong in what would have been a sensational winner
Maguire almost ensured all three points went back to Manchester, but was thwarted by the fingertips of Johnstone
 He nodded a powerful header goalwards, but the West Brom goalkeeper tipped it onto the crossbar
It was a really wonderful performance from the new West Brom striker
 He had two goals disallowed for offside against Spurs, but finally found the breakthrough early on against Man Utd
He showed some super physicality throughout, easily getting around Lindelof and Maguire on two separate occasions
 Diagne could have scored a hat-trick for his afternoon's efforts too, but missed two glorious late chances
 The effort wide was a particularly agonising one, and the striker needs to net those if West Brom have a hope of beating relegation
"This is such a bad result for Manchester United
 He's just said it's a difficult place to come, West Brom have won one game at home against the bottom team, that's a difficult place to go if you're second or third in the league?"West Brom had the better chances
 That is an exceptionally poor performance and result for Manchester United, when you think they've got a chance of putting the pressure on Manchester City
 Nah
""It was a fantastic point and a game we could easily have won on the chances we created
 I'm really pleased with how we set our tactics out, we were brilliant in the way we controlled the element of Manchester United's threat
 They were limited to little or no chances, but it was an absolutely brilliant goal [from Fernandes], so you have to hold your hands up for that
"In the second half, we contained the opposition again, limited them and then started breaking away to create opportunities
 Our big man, Mbaye, scored a great goal today but he could have had three
 He could have been the winner for us today
"I'm really pleased for the players with their application, the way they nullified the opposition and the way they used possession as best as they possibly could… Overall, the whole team has performed to their best level consistently over 90 minutes and I can't ask any more than that
"It's another point to try and get us on the move, going forward without losing football matches
 Can we put an undefeated run of games together? The effort we put in today needs to be match when we go to Burnley next week
 It'll be a different type of game and tactics, but if we get to the top of our game and create opportunities, hopefully we'll be there to finish them off
" "No one will give it [the Premier League title race] away this early
 This season is so unpredictable, life is so unpredictable, anything can happen and of course we're not going to settle for second
"It's a compliment to the boys that we've gotten ourselves into the position we're in
 We're the team closest [to Man City] and we should be challenging the team in front of us
"We're not going to let them get away with it, but we need to win games to be in that position
"At the moment, that record [19 games unbeaten away in the Premier League] doesn't mean anything
 We are in desperate need of three points because we want to move up the table and you don't do that by getting one point away from home
 It's a disappointing outcome today
"Then again some of the play was really good, some of the performances were really good so there are some positive
 But overall, we're disappointed with one point only
"We built loads of pressure, created pressure, pegged them back but I didn't feel we created enough big moments to score the goals
 We didn't have the aura
"Saying that, we did get down the sides and flashed a few crosses down the line but maybe the cross, or the position or the movement wasn't there
 We didn't have big moments that you felt should have been a goal disappointingly, even though the ball was in the last third all the time apart from a few counter-attacks, which is always dangerous when you have Premier League players against you
""I was so certain it was a penalty
 I don't understand why he's been sent to check it
"I'm goalside of the defender, I feel a touch on my shoulder, he's pulling me back, and then I feel a clip on my heels as well
 It was minimal, but it's a penalty, especially after the referee points to the spot you think there's no chance it's getting overturned
"I was so confident it was going to be given, but it seems like the decisions at the moment are going against us
