Manchester United 2 Derby County 0: Lingard, Lukaku late show sends Red Devils through

Manchester United left it late, but Jesse Lingard and Romelu Lukaku earned a 2-0 FA Cup third-round win over Derby County.

Jesse Lingard again came up with the goods and Romelu Lukaku was also on target as Manchester United left it late to seal a 2-0 FA Cup third-round win over Derby County.

England midfielder Lingard let fly from outside the area with six minutes remaining for his fifth goal in his past six outings to finally break the resistance of the spirited Rams.

It was a huge relief for a United side that appeared destined for a frustrating third-round replay having wasted a glut of chances, and Lukaku made sure of the win in the closing stages.
