Manchester United slumped to their third Premier League defeat of the season as West Brom recorded a first win at Old Trafford since 1978.
Goals from Morgan Amalfitano and Saido Berahino either side of the interval proved enough for the delirious Baggies despite Wayne Rooney netting for the fifth time in as many games.
Not even the second-half introductions of Robin van Persie and Marouane Fellaini could swing the contest back in United's favour as they lost 2-1.
Fellaini did think he had equalised when he poked home Nani's low cross five minutes from time but the effort was ruled out for offside.
The result, at the start of what was supposed to be an easy run of fixtures, is a shattering blow to new manager David Moyes, whose team have now slipped six points off the pace in the early stages of the title race.
