Manchester United Thrash West Bromwich Albion 5-0 and Break League Record

Great but surprising news for Man United. Rio Ferdinand and Ji-Sung Park were back in the starting lineup for United and Wes Brown started on the bench, which is fantastic news considering the recent defensive injuries we have had recently.

The match was delayed for half an hour because of congestion on the roads. Before the match West Brom had a decent record at home.

United started off well with a few early chances. Dimitar Berbatov hit a shot on target from Park's ball but his shot was saved comfortably by WBA keeper Scott Carson.

It wasn't all Man United at the beginning. West Brom were handed a corner in the second minute and luckily for Man United Michael Carrick was on hand to clear the ball off the line.

Carrick was in on the action, threading the ball through to Park, who shot straight at Carson. Both teams were looking to attack, which is great because too many teams stick nine or 10 players (which I can understand) behind the ball but West Brom are a footballing team.

After recovering from a virus, Cristiano Ronaldo was looking a bit better than he did against Spurs, but his body language wasn't quite right. There was a moment in the first half when Ronaldo didn't track back, United players turned to him and I assume they asked him why not and he didn't look that bothered.

The first goal of the game came in the 21st minute when Berbatov played a one-two with Carrick and slotted the ball past Carson.

United nearly went 2-0 up when Ronaldo crossed the ball into Carlos Tevez but Tevez' shot hit the sidenetting.

Around the half-hour mark United should have been given a penalty when Gary Neville was tripped in the box. Why we weren't given a penalty I don't know why.

At 39 minutes in there came an incident that basically changed the game when Paul Robinson was sent off for West Brom. Robinson went into a 50/50 tackle on Park and Rob Styles showed a straight red card to Robinson. For me, it wasn't a sending off, it was a tad harsh. It was a heavy tackle but there was nothing malicious about it.

Not long after the sending off United got a second goal. Ryan Giggs took United's free kick and Carson caught it but dropped it right in front of Tevez, who hit it into the back of the net.

Second half and Giggs had an early chance for Man United but his lob went wide. On 49 minutes in and West Brom had a free kick two yards outside United's penalty area when Neville brought Chris Brunt down. The Baggies' free kick, which was taken by Brunt, went just over the bar.

Berbatov did have the ball in the back of the net from Carrick's ball through but it was ruled out for offside, which was correct but only just.

After 60 minutes United had a third goal and the scorer was Nemanja Vidic, who headed in Giggs' corner.

United nearly lost their clean sheet when Ryan Donk hit Edwin Van Der Sar's bar, so close for the Baggies and United were so close to not getting the Premier League record of 11 consecutive clean sheets.

United went 4-0 up and the goal scorer was Ronaldo. Unbelievably it was Ronaldo's first league away goal this season. It was a beautiful pass by Giggs to put Ronaldo through and Ronaldo slammed it past Carson.

Carrick so nearly had a goal but he slid the ball just wide, as United has been absolutely fantastic.

Brown came on during the second half for Ferdinand and Richard Eckersley came on for Neville. Both carrying knocks before the match.

Then it was 5-0 United. It looked like Berbatov was offside but the officials said no, United played on and Ronaldo doubled his away goals in one match. Berbatov collected a long pass, held the ball up until some more United players caught up, he then slid the ball to Ronaldo and Ronaldo slotted the ball between Carson's legs.

One of United's newest signings, Zoran Tosic, came on for Berbatov.

United started off the match sloppily but once West Brom hit the bar we woke up and looked amazing.

Pele headed the ball onto the roof of United's net from a West Brom corner. This was one of their best chances in the second half.

Ronaldo was in on a hat rick and he hit the ball wide (horribly wide). Ronaldo being world player of the year should really have done better.

It was so nearly 6-0 but Tevez was thwarted by Carson, who stood big and blocked Tevez' shot. Before his shot Tevez lost the ball around four times but he still carried on and won the ball back and managed to get the ball back and have a shot. That just shows Tevez' passion.

Into stoppage time and West Brom had a free kick just outside the penalty area. The ball went wide.

The game finished 5-0 to United, with now 17 hours without conceding a goal and we have broken a record and we have now gone 11 consecutive league matches without conceding a goal. Brilliant.
