95'FT: WBA 1-1 Man Utd!!! All over at the Hawthorns and the draw is useless for both. Diagne put WBA ahead and Fernandes levelled just before half-time. The visitors were the better team in the second half, but couldn't find a second goal. They had a penalty controversially ruled out by VAR and then Maguire's last minute header was tipped onto the post by the keeper. WBA slightly lucky to draw that one.
-
95'Off the post by Maguire!!!! Luke Shaw picks out Maguire at the back stick, he heads and the ball is saved by Johnstone onto the post!! Maguire slams the ground in frustration.
-
95'Fernandes' ball in is headed away by Ajayi and United are frustrated again.
-
93'Fernandes has a pop at it's stopped by Johnstone! Attempts: 7-8, on target: 3-6.
-
92'Wan-Bissaka gets a corner for OGS' men. The draw is useless for both. And WBA clear it.
-
91'Rashford has the ball in the WBA box, but is crowded out by defenders. Five added minutes.
-
90'Greenwood goes forward and his cross can't be turned in by anyone!

-
85'Snodgrass brings down Rashford just outside the box and it's a free-kick.
-
84'Handbags between Van de Beek and Pereira after the United man is not allowed to take a free-kick quickly. I think it will end 1-1 now.
-
82'Free-kick to WBA here.
-
80'Man Utd sub: Van de Beek is on for Fred.
Yellow card

-
79'Yellow card to Maitland-Niles for a pull back on Greenwood.
-
76'Townsend has picked up an injury to his eyebrow and is getting patched up.
-
74'It's a Man Utd siege now, the ball finds Shaw and he can't pick out Cavani.
-
72'WBA go forward and Maitland-Niles' pass is really poor.
-
71'Gallagher hits one from 25 yards and it goes over the bar!
-
70'Off the line by WBA!!! Greenwood's shot is saved by Johnstone and then McTominay's rebound is knocked away by Furlong!
-

Substitution

-
67'WBA sub: Livermore on for Okay.
Substitution
at Manchester United
-
66'Man Utd sub: Martial is replaced by Greenwood.
-
64'No penalty given to Man Utd!! I have to say that's a very surprising decision. That was a penalty. He pulls Maguire from behind and even though Maguire is looking for it, that shouldn't have been overturned. Remember the on-field call was a penalty.
-
63'The ref is going to the screen and the ref is just looking at the foul. I think Pawson should stick with his original call.
-
62'Penalty to Man Utd for a shirt-pull by Ajayi on Maguire. Maguire is offside from Fernandes' free-kick, but the foul is before the ball reaches there so I think it will stand.
Yellow card

60'And now another free-kick. This time given against Martial.
-

-
54'Pereira!!! Maitland-Niles passes for Pereira and the shot goes wide.
-
53'Rashford's ball in looks for Cavani and WBA clear. All United now.
-
50'Diagne slips on the wet turf and catches Fernandes' ankle. Was completely accidental, but the Portuguese has taken a knock.
-
49'Rashford goes one way and then the other, his cross misses Cavani at the near post and Shaw can't quite reach it at the far post.
-
48'United attack through Rashford and McTominay, but there's no one on the end of McTominay's ball in.
-
47'Man Utd win a corner here as the rain pours down.

46'WBA HT sub: Furlong on for Peltier.
-
46'United get us going again!
-
45'HT: WBA 1-1 Man Utd!! Half-time at the Hawthorns and it's all square here. Diagne controversially put WBA ahead after two minutes despite Lindelof seemingly fouled and then Bruno Fernandes levelled just before the break when United were lacking the cutting edge to break down a well organised WBA defence. A draw seems about right to me. Back for more shortly!
-
45'Controversy here as Pawson blows for HT as Man Utd are countering!! It was 7 seconds over the allotted two minutes though and he blew it as soon as WBA lost the ball. Think that was fair enough.
-
45'45+2: The ball finds Maitland-Niles at the back post and Fred's deflects the shot behind for another corner.
-
45'45+2: And another corner.
-
45'45+1: WBA's gameplan changes again and Shaw has to concede the corner.
-
45'United were lacking that cutting edge and Fernandes has once again made the difference. WBA were looking comfortable.
-
45'Two added minutes.
Goaaaaaal!

7'Fred!!! OGS' men threaten again, Rashford heads the ball back to Fred and then the shot by Fred is hit at Johnstone.
-
6'Make your own mind up. Looks a clear foul to me.
-
5'United attack through Fernandes and Rashford, the latter can't get a shot off and then Fred's shot is blocked. WBA then win a free-kick.
-
3'That's the worst possible start for United and in my opinion, that's a clear foul. Diagne had his hands on Lindelof's head and then over his eyes.
