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.

Jesse Lingard receives a lay off from Romelu Lukaku and gets under the ball to volley it beyond Scott Carson. What a goal that is and Lingard has just broken Derby hearts.

We could have a big finish in both of our live games this evening. Liverpool lead Everton with just one minute and added time to go. Meanwhile, at Old Trafford United have a little longer to hold on after Lingard's late strike.

James Milner put LIverpool ahead from the spot in the first half but Gylfi Sigurdsson pegged the hosts back after the break. But step forward Virgil Van Dijk. He rose highest in the box and headed in a corner and the winner. What a way to start your career at Liverpool.

Derby defended well and provided some threat to Manchester United but the Premier League team's quality was too much. Jesse Lingard and Romelu Luakaku fired late goals as Jose Mourinho's men march into the next round.
