Manchester United's Falcao Equals Colombian Goal Scoring Record

Colombian striker on-loan at Manchester United, Radamel Falcao has equalled his compatriot, Arnoldo Iguaran's goal-scoring record after scoring from a spot in his side's 3-1 win over Kuwait. 

Falcao, who has just 4 goals at the Old Trafford since joining the EPL side hit his third goal in two friendlies in the Middle East, having hit two in Thursday's 6-0 win against Bahrain.

Colombia, who are warming up for the Copa America to be played in in Chile from June, took the lead with an Abel Aguilar volley in the 22nd minute.

Kuwait defender Mesaed Al Enezi equalised at a corner on the stroke of half-time, before substitute Edwin Cardona and Falcao sealed the win for Jose Pekerman's side.

Falcao's loan deal at United, worth £265,000 per week, expires at the end of the season, when the club must decide whether to take up a £43.5m option to buy him. BBC
