This shot was the culmination of some fine interplay with Serge Aurier who, it has to be said, made a great return to the team against the Baggies.

This progressive run probably sums the Argentinian up, there’s so much excitement and potential, but so rarely do we get a tangible end product. This run at the West Brom defence could have been so much more, but it fizzled out with a ball that was either misplaced or misunderstood.
On the surface, Lamela appeared to have a decent game, but the truth is less kind. The hope consistently outweighs the achievement, and only adds to the ridiculous situation Mourinho finds himself in, relying on leftovers.
Just take a look at all those black crosses. If this is one of your liveliest attacking threats, then you are living on actual crumbs.
Have we got any of those? I seem to recall a lad called Winks who used to play.
I cannot understand why so many “fans” dislike him: he tries .he has an edge and he opens up the defences and UNLIKE Bergwin(?) he can score.. Sure he was injured for a long time but it was a congenital defect that required surgery not an injury alone. He would be my first choice on the right always if available,
he gave some decent pass to Kane who skewed the shot because he clearly not 100% fit , and also not to mention the amount of balls he won back that broke up the other side attack .
We could start a player that plays safe – sideways and passing backwards only and no dribbling .
Yeah, but he really runs about a lot and has a great attitude.
