Sir Alex Ferguson's final game at the helm of Manchester United could not have been more dramatic as he saw his side squander a 5-2 lead with 10 minutes to play.
West Brom's defiant comeback was inspired by substitute Romelu Lukaku, who scored an incredible second-half hat trick.
United's No. 2 shot-stopper looked shaky for much of Sunday's game, and should have done better for at least a couple of the Baggies' goals.
Much better from the Ecuadorian winger, who contributed more going forward than he has in any previous game this term.
Per Football365, Sir Alex said before the game, "I want to play Jonny Evans and Phil Jones at centre-half because they are the future."
This may be the case, but the two did not function properly against West Brom. Evans looked out of sorts trying to handle the physical Romelu Lukaku.
A mixed outing for the Dutchman, who was promising going forward, but caught out of position countless times in defence.
The Brazilian started brightly as one of the midfield runners, but faded in the second period. This was possibly his final game for United.
The Mexican forward got a deserved goal in the second half—his industry and link-up play was exemplary until that point.
He will finish the Premier League's top scorer for the season, and perhaps a little unlucky to finish third in Player of the Year voting.
He and fellow veteran Paul Scholes enjoyed their cameos, but it was Giggs who really impressed. His assist for Javier Hernandez's goal was pinpoint.
