Tony Pulis has admitted that West Bromwich Albion "switched off" in their 2-0 defeat to Manchester United in the Premier League.
The Baggies were level at half time at Old Trafford, but Jesse Lingard scored early in the second half before Juan Mata netted from the penalty spot late on after Gareth McAuley was sent off for bringing Anthony Martial down in the box.
The manager told BBC Sport: "After half time, the game opened up and we got more into it but the first goal is poor from us. It's a great finish. After that I thought we got into the game and the chance [for Saido Berahino] - if there's a guy you want it to drop then it's Saido. He seems to duck his head but he should just let it hit him on the forehead. If it has to come off your nose it has to come off your nose.
"I thought today in the last 20 mins he could play a part. Unfortunately he missed the chance we needed. I'm disappointed for the players - most my sides don't lack effort and commitment - we've just switched off and been punished. Gareth McAuley should have stayed on his feet and if the kid scores the kid scores."
The result leaves West Brom 12th in the Premier League table.
