EPL Round-up: United Lose, Benteke Saves Liverpool
Jose Salomon Rondon scored the only goal of the game as West Brom defeated 10-man Manchester United 1-0, dealing a blow to the visitors’ top-four hopes. United came into the game buoyed by four wins in a row in all competitions, but their task at The Hawthorns was made far tougher when Juan Mata picked up the first Premier League red card of his career with two quick-fire bookings in the first half. Louis van Gaal’s side responded well to that setback and came close to opening the scoring through young Marcus Rashford, as they looked to counter West Brom, who struggled to carve out many meaningful chances despite their advantage. Yet Tony Pulis’ men found their breakthrough midway through the second half thanks to Rondon’s clever finish from close range – his fourth goal in six league matches. A stoppage-time penalty by Christian Benteke gave 10-man Liverpool a dramatic 2-1 win over Crystal Palace. Benteke went down following a challenge by Damien Delaney and got up to coolly score the spot-kick. Palace had led through Joe Ledley’s 48th-minute finish and Liverpool’s James Milner was sent off for a second yellow card on 62 minutes. A calamitous slip by Palace keeper Alex McCarthy gifted Liverpool their equaliser, scored by Roberto Firmino. The defeat leaves Alan Pardew’s men without a win in 12 Premier League matches.
The penalty was a sensational end to the match, with Palace boss Pardew hurling his coat to the ground in frustration.
Delaney’s knee touched Benteke’s ankle and referee Andre Marriner, guided by a well-placed assistant official, awarded the match-winning spot-kick
