The Mexico international gave United the lead with an inventive header
Hernandez: United's matchwinner with two goals against Stoke
Tuncay: Came off the bench to score a screamer for the Potters
Manchester United had Javier Hernandez to thank as he rescued three points against Stoke City.
In a week when Wayne Rooney dominated column inches over his future at Old Trafford, it was fitting that his fellow striker would grab the headlines with a brace at the Britannia Stadium.
Hernandez gave the visitors the lead after 27 minutes as acrobatically turned Nemanja Vidic's knock-back goalwards with an inventive header.
Hosts Stoke refused to throw the towel in and they grabbed a deserved equaliser on 81 minutes as substitute Tuncay Sanli scored a wonder-strike as Marc Wilson took advantage of an uncharacteristically sloppy error from Paul Scholes.
But any hopes the Potters had of recording their first point against United in the Premier League were extinguished when Hernandez poked home Patrice Evra's cross-cum-shot to give the Red Devils their first away win in the league this season.
