Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.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.
But how did the players rate? See the gallery below to find out.
The win takes Manchester United to fourth in the league.
