Radamel Falcao scored his first goal in English football as Manchester United recorded back-to-back victories for the first time under Louis van Gaal.

For most of the match, it looked as though Falcao was anything but a world-class striker as he missed four good chances to find the net, but he finally tucked a top poacher's effort away in the 62nd minute to hand United a valuable 2-1 win over Everton at Old Trafford.

United dominated from start to finish and they deservedly took the lead through Di Maria, who curled a tidy finish past Tim Howard in the first half.

Everton were allowed back into the game when Luke Shaw lost Steven Naismith and the Scot responded by heading past David de Gea.

Despite being second best in every department, Everton will feel they should have taken a point from this game.

The win takes Manchester United to fourth in the league.
