Manchester United 0-1 West Bromwich Albion : 5 Talking Points

#2 Ben Foster displays heroics yet again at Old Trafford

Foster scrambles out of his line to deny Lukaku

West Bromwich defended resolutely, but if one man deserved a majority of the credit for tying down United, it was their former custodian, Ben Foster, again.

The veteran goalkeeper continued from where he left off from his match-saving performance in a 0-0 draw a year ago on this ground, pulling off miraculous saves and making excellent decisions with the ball at his feet.

His diving one-handed save to parry Romelu Lukaku's header wide of the post was almost de Gea-esque in its reflexes and timing of the dive, as he was moving in the other direction as the header was planted.

Earlier in the first half, he rushed out of his line to deny Lukaku the chance to dink the ball over his head by cramping him for room. He made important catches during the course of the game to neutralize the threat coming from crosses.

He made a last-minute save from a Chris Smalling header to ensure the points were in the bag. It would be a surprise to nobody if he bagged the Man of the Match award for yet another brilliant display in between the sticks.
