Manchester United 2-1 Chelsea: Jesse Lingard header secure crucial comeback victory For United.
Jesse Lingard proved Manchester United's Super sub, as he sprang from the bench to give Jose Mourinho a dramatic late victory over his former club Chelsea.
The Portuguese manager couldn't hide his delight as his second half change produced decisive dividends, when the England star timed a brilliant run to get onto the end of a perfect delivery from Romelu Lukaku on 76 minutes.
Lukaku has finally put an end to the critics levelled against him with a fine finish after brilliant work from Anthony Martial in a crowded penalty area, to drag United into a game that Chelsea had dominated until that point.
The London club had taken tactical control of a game where Mourinho had conceded the visitors the majority of possession, and taken the lead when they capitalised on a mistake by Paul Pogba, to break swiftly for Willian to surprisingly beat David De Gea at his near post.
