Fernandes’ first penalty was saved in the 56th minute, but he re-took it after VAR ruled that former United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone had encroached off his line.
The goal was United’s first in the league at home for 324 minutes – that was also a Fernandes penalty against Tottenham.
United are in the top half of the table for the first time this season.
West Brom were awarded a penalty just after half-time for a foul by Fernandes on Conor Gallagher but the decision was overturned by David Coote when he went to watch the incident again on the pitchside monitor.
West Brom are yet to win this season, and sit 18th with three points from nine games.

Fulham lost their seventh league match in nine, and missed yet another penalty as Ivan Cavaleiro slipped and sent his penalty over the bar. It was their third successive penalty miss this season.
Bobby Reid equalised to make it 1-1 in the first half, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s deflected strike gave Scott Parker’s side some hope at 3-2.
