Radamel Falcao: Celebrates with Juan Mata after netting against Everton
Louis van Gaal secured back-to-back wins for the first time since taking charge of Manchester United as Radamel Falcao’s second-half finish clinched a 2-1 win over Everton.
United started brightly as Radamel Falcao and Robin van Persie threatened in the early stages at Old Trafford, before Angel di Maria fired them into a 27th-minute lead, curling into the bottom corner after being found inside the area by Juan Mata.
Van Gaal’s side were in control for the majority of the first half, but they had David de Gea to thank for preserving their lead at the break as he denied Leighton Baines from the penalty spot after Luke Shaw had hacked down Tony Hibbert.
Everton did manage to get on level terms 10 minutes after the restart as Baines found Steven Naismith unmarked inside the six-yard box which a superb delivery to head beyond the helpless De Gea.
But United found themselves back in front just seven minutes later as Di Maria’s strike from range fell kindly into the path of Radamel Falcao, who was able to guide it past Tim Howard for his first goal since arriving from Monaco this summer.
De Gea then produced stunning late saves to deny substitutes Leon Osman and Bryan Oviedo as United were made to hold on for the three points.
