The draw was followed up with United's first win of the season, a 4–0 thumping of Queens Park Rangers. However, the following week, 2–0 and 3–1 leads were blown as the Red Devils suffered a remarkable 5–3 defeat away to Leicester City. September concluded with a nervy 2–1 home win over West Ham United despite captain Wayne Rooney's sending-off for a reckless kick at the legs of Stewart Downing. The next fixture, without club captain Rooney, was a morale-boosting 2–1 home victory over Everton, who had achieved the league double over United the previous season. Radamel Falcao netted the winner with his first goal for United. The next two matches were last-minute draws against West Bromwich Albion and league leaders Chelsea, respectively. A United side which was severely depleted in defence then narrowly lost to city rivals Manchester City on 2 November, with Sergio Agüero's goal separating the teams at the City of Manchester Stadium. The next match, a 1–0 victory over Crystal Palace courtesy of a Juan Mata strike, ignited a six-match winning run that took United to third place in the table. Although United recorded wins over Premier League giants Arsenal, Liverpool and in-form Southampton, they were greatly indebted to Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea, who made many game-saving stops. United then drew away to Aston Villa, with new signing Falcao scoring his second goal for the club. The Boxing Day clash against Newcastle at Old Trafford was a 3–1 win, with Wayne Rooney scoring twice and assisting a goal for Robin van Persie. The next game, only two days later, was a goalless draw away to Tottenham Hotspur. The result was the same against Stoke on New Year's Day, with Falcao's goal unable to win the game in a 1–1 draw. The following match, United ended their unbeaten streak with a home defeat to Southampton — the first time the Saints had won at Old Trafford in 27 years. Next week, United secured a 2–0 win against QPR at Loftus Road, with Marouane Fellaini and James Wilson scoring. On 31 January United beat Leicester City 3–1 at Old Trafford with goals from Van Persie and Falcao, thus gaining a measure of revenge for their early-season mauling at the King Power Stadium. United had to claw back a 1–1 draw at Upton Park against West Ham on February 8 thanks to an equaliser in stoppage time from Daley Blind. After this, United won 3–1 against Burnley at Old Trafford, with two goals in the first half from substitute Chris Smalling, and a late penalty from Van Persie, although the Red Devils''' performance was far from their best.Ben Hibbs Smalling: We let ourselves down http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Football-News/2015/Feb/Chris-Smalling-pleased-to-beat-Burnley-but-says-the-players-let-themselves-down.aspx ManUtd.com Manchester United 11 February 2015 13 February 2015 On 21 February, United suffered their first away defeat since November as Swansea did the double on the Red Devils for the first time in their history, winning 2–1, resulting in United dropping to fourth place.https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/31466678 Swansea 2 – 1 Man Utd BBC Sport 21 February 2015 22 February 2015 Dafydd Pritchard United got back to winning ways with a 2–0 home victory over Sunderland,https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/31562858 Manchester United 2–0 Sunderland BBC Sport 28 February 2015 10 March 2015 which was followed by a 1–0 away victory against Newcastle United on 4 March, the winner coming from Ashley Young after a late defensive error from Newcastle.https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/31617021 Newcastle United 0–1 Manchester United BBC Sport 4 March 2015 10 March 2015 The following fixture, United secured a storming 3–0 home victory over Tottenham Hotspur to boost their chances of a top four finish.https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/31785852 Manchester United 3–0 Tottenham Hotspur BBC Sport 15 March 2015 16 March 2015 Their next game was against arch-rivals Liverpool at Anfield.
