Sir Alex Ferguson's final game as Manchester United manager ended in a crazy 5-5 Premier League draw at West Bromwich Albion. More
90+4' There's the final whistle! It's somehow appropriate that Sir Alex Ferguson should bow out with a game as crazy and goal-filled as any in his long and illustrious career. Not the result United wanted, but a terrific match all the same...
90+1' FOUR MINUTES of added time to be played.
86' GOAL!! IT'S FIVE ALL!! Romelu Lukaku bundles the ball in from close range and West Brom have pulled off an extraordinary comeback!
83' Now Rio Ferdinand is on for United, replacing Jonny Evans.
83' Ah, there's the Scholesy special! He hacks Claudio Yacob and is duly booked.
82' GOAL!! This is outrageous! Youssouf Mulumbu makes it 4-5! Jones crosses low, Mulumbu finishes calmly into the bottom left corner and it's game on! Amazing!
81' GOAL! Romelu Lukaku scores again! He runs onto a fine through ball, takes a touch and finishes left-footed!
80' More changes for West Brom - Shane Long and James Morrison go off. Markus Rosenberg and Marc-Antoine Fortune replace them.
75' Lukaku! Storms onto the ball at the edge of the box and hits a low side-footer just wide! Should have hit the target.
69' And on comes Paul Scholes for his final match! He replaces Shinji Kagawa. Unsurprisingly, there are no Becks-style tears/
67' Oh, Jonas Olsson, how does he miss that? Morrison delivers the free-kick from the left, Olsson meets it on the volley and sends the ball into orbit! Horrible miss!
63' GOAL! Javier Hernandez finally gets his goal, and it's an assist for Ryan Giggs! He crosses low from the left, the ball beats Foster and Hernandez finishes into the empty net from a couple of yards! 5-2.
60' Manchester United change: Ryan Giggs comes on to replace Tom Cleverley - of course the old stager will be around next season.
53' GOAL! Robin van Persie restores United's two-goal lead, stabbing the ball into the roof of the net from an Antonio Valencia cross!
50' GOAL!! Now it really is interesting! Lukaku sidefoots goalwards from the edge of the box, and the ball somehow squirms through Lindegaard's hands to nestle in the bottom-right corner!
46' Half-time change for West Brom, who are bringing on Romelu Lukaku to play his last game before returning to Chelsea at the end of his loan.
45+3' Half-time, and United lead 3-1. WBA showing signs of life but have a big job on in the second half.
43' GREAT SAVE FOSTER! He saves Hernandez's low shot woth his legs, but the ball ricochets back off McAuley and nearly loops over Foster, who claws it over for a corner!
40' GOAL! And they've got one back! Buttner concedes possession, WBA work it wide and cross low for James Morrison who beats Lindegaard with a low finish.
38' What a miss! Chicharito prods the ball goalwards after Valencia does brilliantly to keep it in play, but the Mexican sends his shot wide!
30' GOAL!! Alex Buttner!! The left-back finishes a lovely floweing United move - Hernandez lays off to Cleverley who rolls it out wide, and Buttner drives an emphatic finish into the right corner!
26' Cleverley chips into the box.. Hernandez just beats the offside trap and leaps to meet the ball, but Foster is there to block it at close range!
24' Hernandez! A very strange one there - he leaps to head a cross from the right but gets it completely wrong, heading the ball back away from goal!
22' Graham Dorrans strikes a speculative 25-yarder but it was always curling wide.
9' GOAL!! Two for United as Antonio Valencia drives a low cross in from the right and Jonas Olsson diverts the ball into his own net!
6' GOAL!! Manchester United in front! Kagawa plants a downward header in from close range to convert Hernandez's right-sided cross. Good work from the Mexican to keep the ball in and deliver accurately.
1' And off we go! West Brom get the action under way, playing from left to right as we see it. And United get an early throw.

60′ SUPERMAN We all enjoyed Fergie's disastrous retirement , lucky for United that he is going , what a game full of bravado and mistakes , with WBA scoring 6 and United 4 goals , it's not a good sign for United . Not only United were winning 5 - 2 but United wanted to ' show off their retirement contingent' with the ' old timers Giggs , Scholes and Ferdinand coming on without much energy' , back came WBA with 3 goals in the last 25 minutes ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,what a slap-in-the-face for Red-nose Fergal and please Mister Alexis don't complain about the officials , not this time ......look at your substitution and your relaxed team , don't rely on Webb , Clattenburg , Hoy and Dean, Halsey etc.............and on Fergie-time retirement WAS THE BEST THING YOU HAVE DONE ?

The best league in the world , my @_$_$ !!
5-5. Looks like a good beginning to the end.
Man Utd had the game sewn up until that donkey Scholes came on...he should have stayed retired the first time..since he came back to United...he got booked and since then it was the same old Scholes...his temper got the best of him in EVERY match
10 goals, nice one:)
@Darren you are so cocky no wonder everyone hates you
Lukaku should have been young player of the year IMO.
Champions are real losers
the result is irrelevant,united by far the best team this seasons,ELEVEN point gap,enough said,now lets go and get gareth bale and win title 21 next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mancheater allowed 5 goals HAHAHAHA! Good bye Fergie!
What a game of football! Proud to be a baggy!!!!
what a disgracefully bad display of defending by utd, scholes and lindegaard particularly terrible, what a kick in the teeth to sir alex, utd should be ashamed of themselves theres no excuses about the sun being in their eyes, the sun wasnt in the west brom players eyes was it. FVCK SAKE
must say sorry to w b a they fought back and hopefully gave some pride back to the home fans my respect to all the w b a players and fans
How do you blow a 5-2 lead? Evans is useless...
A 5-5 draw in a game that didnt matter and then all the haters show up say how we are #$%$ and how were going down. jealous pathetic people. CHAMP20NS.
Well you've certainly had value for money today. Well done to both teams, it would have been a shame if either side had lost and it's a match all supporters will remember.
WEll done the Baggies!
Wow ,what a game.
