Manchester United had no problem washing away 10-man West brom to go three points clear at top. Goals from Berbatov, Tevez, Vidic and double from Ronaldo see off Albion by five goals to nil.
United also registered a new record of 11 consecutive clean sheet in the Premier League. Van der Sar now has taken the charge of the record as he overtook it from Petr Cech.
West Brom will point to the 40th-minute dismissal of Paul Robinson as a turning point. But United were in control long before they turned victory into a rout.
Berbatov and Tevez scored in the first half to go ahead while Vidic scored in 60th minute and Ronaldo showed his class by adding two more goals to his tally.
Manchester United were a bit shaky at first. Van der Sar was given a couple of reasons to worry as on-loan striker Marc-Antoine Fortune and Jay Simpson both won early corners.
But since than United 'united' themselves and attacked one after one. So they got five goals in the West Brom net.
