Ruud van Nistelrooy scored his 101st Manchester United goal as the Red Devils held off a fierce Everton fightback to win 4-3 at Goodison Park.

Van Nistelrooy became the second-fastest United player to score 100 goals after 24 minutes. New recruit Louis Saha scored either side of Van Nistelrooy’s mark to put United 3-0 up after 29 minutes. Everton rallied through second half strikes from Kevin Kilbane, David Unsworth and an own goal by United defender John O’Shea to level at 3-3. Van Nistelrooy broke the deadlock with a 89th-minute headed winner.

Van Nistelrooy is the 15th man to score 100 goals for United, needing 131 matches to reach the mark since joining in July 2001.
