Manchester United 2 West Brom 0: Advantage Fergie as Rooney double lifts United over City to top spot
Posted Monday, March 12, 2012 by Dailymail
Wayne Rooney's double swept Manchester United to the top of the Barclays Premier League for the first time this year as West Brom were brushed aside at Old Trafford.
Rooney took his seasonal tally to 24 with a goal either side of the interval as United took advantage of Manchester City's shock defeat at Swansea to assume that familiar position at the head of affairs on the title run-in.
And with United at relegation-haunted Wolves next Sunday, City could find themselves four points adrift before they take to the field again, against resurgent Chelsea, at the Etihad Stadium on March 21.
Neat: Manchester United's Wayne Rooney opened the scoring
