Marouane Fellaini has opened the scoring for Manchester United against Queens Park Rangers with a very tasty finish.
The midfielder, who replaced Juan Mata at half-time, controlled an Antonio Valencia cut-back before smashing the ball home from 12 yards.
United had struggled until Fellaini scored. The away fans, unhappy with the team’s tactics, chanted ‘4-4-2’ at the end of a first-half during which Phil Jones taking a corner was the most notable event.

Radamel Falcao missed from five yards for the away team. The striker had an earlier effort saved by Rob Green, but had the goal at his mercy to double United’s lead and completely missed the ball.
However, it looked as though a deft touch from the QPR defender took the ball away from the striker.
James Wilson secured three points for United in injury time.
