Summary:
On Sunday afternoon, Manchester United reclaimed first place in the Premier League after defeating West Brom 2-0. The first goal came from a cross by Javier Hernandez which Rooney directed towards the net on a volley with his right foot in the 35th minute. In the 66th minute, Rooney scored again, this time off a penalty kick that Hernandez had drew for United. Manchester United put this game as their number one priority because the win gave them a one point lead in the league standings. United started a strong lineup, including Rooney, Hernandez, Ashley Young, and Danny Welbeck.
Significance:
Manchester City, United's rivals, have been first place in the league since the season started until now. City lost 1-0 to Swansea City the same afternoon that United beat West Brom 2-0. While United claimed first place, they also had Javier Hernandez back in the lineup, his first game played in several months. Hernandez is a key part to United's success and his link with Rooney gives them a strong offense and good chance of winning the league. Also, United are no longer in the FA Cup or the Champions League and only have the Premier League left to claim.
Alternate Heading: Hernandez Return Sparks a United Victory
question: Why didn't they focus of Hernandez's return as a major part of the win?
