Lingard scored one of the goals of the season. Twitter

Jesse Lingard scored a stunning goal to secure the three points for Manchester United, picking up the ball 20 yards inside his own half and driving forward towards goal.

He was helped by Watford's defensive frailties, with the Hornets pushing forward in search of an equaliser in the closing stages. Nevertheless, Lingard scored an absolute beauty.

Picking up the ball in his own half, he breezed past player after player before firing past Gomes. 4-2 and United pile pressure on City.
