FORMER MANCHESTER UNITED players Radamel Falcao and Bebe combined to snatch a late winner for Rayo Vallecano.
Vallecano was awarded a free kick after the game had been tied at Athletic Bilbao.
Falcao has scored two in two games for Vallecano.
Bebe stepped up to the plate and delivered a venomous cross into the six-yard box.
Even though Bilbao had eight people inside the box to defend his free-kick goal, Falcao moved away from his marker and headed the winner home. There were huge celebrations at the touchline.
El Tigre’s goal brings his season total to two in two games, both sub appearances.
Both goals are his only ones this season. This gives him a 100% record in the front goal.
Both Falcao and Bebe had to endure difficult periods at Man Utd in 2010-14 and 2014-15.
Falcao scored only four goals in 26 games, which is a small fraction of the feats he displayed at Porto, Atletico Madrid, and Monaco.

And Bebe only made two appearances for the Red Devils in four years.
Fans are recalling their spells at Man Utd, despite their woes with red.
One fan said on Twitter: “Two Man Utd legends combine.”
Another questioned why Barcelona didn’t go for Falcao, considering they now employ Luuk de Jong for the season.
They said: “Why does Barcelona not go for Falcao, who is Luuk de Jong?”
A player like Falcao never lose their finishing ability, says others.
Another footy fan said on Twitter: “Things you never thought you’d see.
“Bebe whipping one in the 95th min & Falcao doing what he does best to win it for Rayo, class is always permanent, punishing goal scorer!”
It was very important to get the win at a great ground like San Mamés. Bebe’s excellent cross was outstanding.

Although Falcao is getting most of the praise, Bebe’s ‘excellent’ cross hasn’t gone unnoticed by the goal scorer.
Falcao started to Gol that he was happy and grateful to his teammates and the whole club.
“It was very important to get the win at a great ground like San Mamés. Bebe’s cross was excellent.”
