Man United 3-1 Leicester: In nine starts, how many goals has Falcao had a hand in?

Manchester United's first-half blitz downed Leicester at Old Trafford as Louis van Gaal's men leapt into third with a comfortable 3-1 victory. 

Goals from Robin van Persie, Radamel Falcao and Wes Morgan (og) inside 17 minutes gave the Reds a commanding half-time lead from which Nigel Pearson's visitors couldn't recover from. As such, they remain rooted to the foot of the table.

Former Poland international Marcin Wasilewski headed a late consolation for the Foxes, who were second best throughout a difficult afternoon in Manchester. Fortunately for Pearson's men, there were also defeats for Burnley, Hull, QPR and West Brom on a matchday of few surprises.
