Wayne Rooney scored his first goal from open play since March 2010 at the Hawthorns, heading Manchester United into a 3rd minute lead. A stunning strike from James Morrison 11 minutes later evened things up. After the hour the Baggies had a great chance to go ahead when Peter Odemwingie missed a penalty, flashing a horrible effort wide. In typical style, United won the match with 15 minutes to go, Javier Hernandez heading home a Rooney corner.
