Daley Blind's late second half strike helped a lackluster Manchester United salvage a 2-2 draw against West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns in the Premier League.
United, who have now gone six games without an away win in the Premier League, their worst run for 18 years, looked sloppy in the opening stages and Stephane Sessegnon's well-executed finish put the home side ahead at halftime.
Substitute Marouane Fellaini equalized for United two minutes after the break, but Saido Berahino put West Brom back in front before Blind's low strike in the 87th minute.
A draw for United keeps them sixth with 12 points from eight games, while West Brom move up to 14th with nine points. Looking at the league table, it appears that Blind saves Manchester from slipping down further with a game next week this weekend at Chelsea. it simply means that a lose at chelsea will give the likes of Arsenal, Totenham etc to move ahead of machester thereby increasing their woes for the season. below is a snapshot of the current first 10 teams on the league table.
