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.

76: How are United not ahead? Romelu Lukaku finds Jesses Lingard who gets behind the defence. He shoots at goal and Scott Carson saves and the ball falls to Paul Pogba who is 12 yards out and misses. That is a terrible miss.

Who else! Virgil Van Dijk has scored for Liverpool and is on his way to completing a dream debut for Liverpool. He rises highest from a corner and heads beyond the on-rushing Jordan Pickford and Anfield errupts.
