20. Robin van Persie – 7
A much better display from the Dutchman who scored the second with a fine finish, although did struggle to get any more shots on target.
9. Radamel Falcao (Fletcher, 65′) – 5
Not as good a game from the Colombia international as against Leicester, but there was enough signs to suggest that when match fit Falcao will be dangerous.
Substitutions:
24. Darren Fletcher – 6
Brought on to shore things up in the midfield and helped his team close out the game.
25. Antonio Valencia – 6
Replaced Herrera and looked strong in the middle.
39. Tom Thorpe
Barely had a chance to impress after coming on in the 94th minute.
