MADRID (Reuters) - Radamel Falcao scored on his return to Spanish football on Saturday, crowning an impressive 3-0 home win for his new side Rayo Vallecano over Madrid neighbours Getafe in LaLiga. The win took Rayo to seven points from five games but left Getafe bottom of the standings without any points and heaped more pressure on coach Michel. "I'm very happy and very grateful to these fans who gave us so much support," Falcao told reporters. "I dreamed of getting on the pitch and scoring and my team mates gave me a lot of encouragement." Falcao joined Rayo as a free agent earlier this month after being forced out of Galatasaray due to the Turkish club's financial problems.
