Man United wins

Rooney is injured

Robin van Persie scored his first goal for Manchester United in the Premier League as his side came from behind to beat Fulham 3-2 at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Damien Duff had given Fulham a surprise lead in the third minute, before the Netherlands striker met Patrice Evra's cross with a neat left-footed flick into the far corner of Mark Schwarzer's goal seven minutes later.

Shinji Kagawa also scored his first for United in the 35th and Rafael Da Silva added a third with a header, giving United a 3-1 lead at half time.

Nemanja Vidic's own goal in the 64th minute started a spell of pressure by the visitors, but they were unable to find an equalizer.

Wayne Rooney went off on a stretcher in injury time with a deep gash after getting caught on the right leg by Hugo Rodallega.

"It looks as he'll be out for maybe four weeks," manager Alex Ferguson said.

In Saturday's late kick off, Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres teamed up as Chelsea beat Newcastle 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.
