Manchester United stopper Edwin van der Sar and his defenders create Premier League history as Sir Alex Ferguson’s side crushed 10-man West Brom 5-0 at The Hawthorns to move three points clear at the top of the table.

The 38-year-old surpassed Chelsea goalkeper Petr Cech’s 2004-2005 record of 925 minutes without conceding a goal and United also set a new record of 11 successive clean sheets, breaking the Chelsea’s record of four years ago.

First half goals from Dimitar Berbatov and Carlos Tevez – after a Scott Carson blunder – effectively ended the game as a meaningful contest.

But Albion were also handicapped by the harsh sending-off of left-back and current skipper Paul Robinson – the ninth red card of his career – five minutes before the interval for a challenge on United midfielder Ji-Sung Park.

Nemanja Vidic and Cristiano Ronaldo (2) worsened things for the under-strength Baggies in the second period to earn the Red Devils a sixth successive league win.

This victory has increased the pressure on nearest challengers Liverpool ahead of their game with Wigan on Wednesday.

Highlights:

West Brom 0-1 Man United

West Brom 0-2 Man United

West Brom 0-3 Man United

West Brom 0-4 Man United

West Brom 0-5 Man United
