Mata swept home United's second

The 'Red Devils' were already leading at that point thanks to Ashley Young's early stunner, the former Watford and Aston Villa man scoring his first goal in 13 months in some style.

United's lack of a clinical touch has been one of the main criticisms of Mourinho's men so far this season, but you would never have guessed it having seen Mata's ruthless finish just before the half-hour mark.

Romelu Lukaku drifted into the left-hand channel and fed Marcus Rashford, who raced towards the byline.

The England man eventually got his head up and looked for support in the middle, with Mata timing his run perfectly to arrive and stroke a first-time effort into the far corner without so much as breaking stride.

The goal was just Mata's fourth in 16 games in all competitions so far this season as he took advantage of a somewhat rare start.
