Thegoalmac can reveal that Daley Blind's first-ever goal for Manchester United saw the Red Devils secure a dramatic 2-2 draw away to West Brom at the Hawthorns on Monday night, though Louis van Gaal's side remain winless on their travels in their last six games.
Stephane Sessegnon opened the scoring for the hosts early on, with
Liverpool loanee Andre Wisdom racing down the flank and squaring for the
Benin international, who fired a ferocious first-time shot past David
De Gea and into the top corner.
At half-time Louis van Gaal introduced Marouane Fellaini in place of
Ander Herrera and within minutes the much-maligned Belgian had
equalised, chesting down a floated pass from Angel Di Maria - who later
came off injured - before unleashing an unstoppable effort that flew
past Boaz Myhill.
United's joy was short-lived, though, and the Baggies reclaimed the lead
soon after via a bright counterattack, with Saido Berahino racing onto
Chris Brunt's through-ball and nervelessly placing his shot beyond De
Gea and into the bottom corner.
Robin van Persie smashed a shot against the foot of the post as United
sought a response and they finally found a breakthrough when Blind
stroked a loose ball into the bottom corner late on, though Van Gaal's
men were denied the chance to record three back-to-back league wins for
the first time since December 2011.
