Man Utd survive De Gea error for victory at West Brom

15.08.11 | tribalfootball.com



Manchester United recovered from an error by rookie goalkeeper David De Gea to win 2-1 atWest Bromwich Albion.
The Spaniard handed the Baggies a foothold when he allowed Shane Long's shot to squirm under his hands and cancel out Wayne Rooney's opener, but his blushes were spared when Steven Reid turned the ball into his own net.
Roy Hodgson's men looked far more resolute after the break and United were restricted to fleeting sights of goal as Rooney nodded wide before Young curled over.
But the Baggies endured a cruel late blow when Young's low cross was inadvertently turned in by Reid on 81 minutes and de Gea gratefully held onto the ball when Chris Brunt fired in a late shot.
