Manchester United finish 2012 atop of the Premier League and more importantly 7 points clear of arch rivals Manchester City after a comfortable 2-0 win over West Brom at Old Trafford on December 29.

This was RvP’s 14th goal in the Premier League. In another EPL match played at Carrow Road, 10-man Manchester City won a hard fought 4-3 win over Norwich City thanks to a Edin Dzeko brace, a Sergio Aguero strike and an own goal from Mark Bunn.

Manchester United lead the EPL table with 49 points after 20 games.
