West Brom 0-2 Man Utd: Unbeaten streak extended thanks to Ibrahimovic 2
Goals: Ibrahimovic 5 & 56.
The fate of the match at The Hawthorns, yesterday, December 17, was decided by two goals at the beginning of each half.
Ibrahimovic continued to demonstrate his leading role, leading Man Utd to victory.
The 2-0 victory helped Man Utd have eight consecutive unbeaten matches in the Premier League (won four, drew four).
For Ibrahimovic personally, his double against West Brom increased his scoring record for Man Utd on all fronts this season to 16 goals, 11 goals more than the second best striker on the team – Paul Pogba.
West Brom, under coach Tony Pulis, is famous for being a difficult opponent for the big guys, because of their heavy defense, tough and physical playing style.

West Brom still play hard, but not as effectively as they used to.
However, at home yesterday, West Brom could not show those qualities.
The early opening goal helped Man Utd play more comfortably after that, when they took the initiative in terms of position and almost scored a second goal in the 23rd minute. Rooney shot from the edge of the penalty area, causing the ball to hit the goalkeeper’s hand.
Paul Pogba did not score in this match, but continued to prove his value and great influence when he was elected Best Player of the match.
