Jesse Lingard scored his fourth goal in as many games and substitute Romelu Lukaku added a stoppage time effort as Manchester United reached the FA Cup fourth round with a 2-0 home win over Championship side Derby County on Friday.
Lingard, who scored a pair of fine goals in a 2-2 Premier League draw with Burnley followed by another in a 2-0 win at Everton, produced another exquisite finish as he unleashed a first-time shot from 18 metres in the 83rd minute.
Lingard hit the post several minutes earlier as Derby looked set to earn a reply after United had missed a string of chances, with Marcus Rashford also hitting the woodwork while visiting keeper Scott Carson produced a barrage of good saves.
Lukaku, who returned from a head injury and came on as a halftime substitute for Henrikh Mkhitaryan, broke away and powered his shot past Carson at the death as Derby threw men forward in search of an equaliser.

Half time
It's all square at the break. Derby County have held on and created their own chances but as you would expect, United are very much on top.
Confirmed signing
Has a club every done this before? Everton have confirmed the signing of Cenk Tosun. The forward joins Everton on a three-and-half year deal.

Sadly Cenk Tosun didn't run out after halftime as a substitute. What an introduction that would be, announce at half time, subbed on for the second half and score the winner for Everton in your first Merseyside Derby. But no.
