Premier League opening day action—Liberty Stadium, Swansea.
Swansea City 1-4 Manchester United (full-time)
Goals: Van Persie ('34, '72), Welbeck ('36, '90+2); Bony ('82)
Lineups
Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Chico, Williams, Davies, Britton (Bony), Canas (Ki), Dyer, Shelvey, Routledge (Hernandez), Michu.
Man Utd: De Gea, Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand, Jones, Valencia, Carrick, Cleverley, Giggs (Rooney), Welbeck, Van Persie (Anderson).
Two goals apiece from Robin van Persie and Danny Welbeck give David Moyes an emphatic victory in his first match as Manchester United manager, with Wilfried Bony getting the consolation for Swansea.
Van Persie was the star of the show—his first goal, a thing of real beauty, changed the course of the game—but there was also a 30-minute cameo for fellow forward Wayne Rooney, who provided the assist for Welbeck's second.
