Not exactly known for his hold-up play, Radamel Falcao showed that he's more than just a renowned goalscorer in the first half of Manchester United's Boxing Day fixture versus Newcastle.
After Juan Mata sent a beautiful cross into the 18-yard box, Falcao proceeded to slide feetfirst and send a first-touch pass across the face of goal that Wayne Rooney merely needed to tap past Jak Alnwick.
Rooney's form at Old Trafford has been incredible as of late.
