Lingard makes up for Champions League blunder

Manchester United star Jesse Lingard has vindicated himself from the blunder he committed against Young Boys in the Champions League.

Lingard, who spent the second half of last season on loan at West Ham United, scored with a minute of normal time left after coming off the bench.

The forward refused to celebrate having been given a standing ovation by home supporters for his contribution helping the Hammers finish sixth in the Premier League to qualify for Europe.

"I'm over the moon. I got a brilliant reception when I came on.

“I had a good time at West Ham but I have to move on and do my best for Man United.

"I have been working hard and to overcome last week it wasn't easy but to get some minutes today and the score was brilliant," Lingard told the press.

West Ham were awarded an injury-time spot-kick when Manchester United defender Luke Shaw handled a cross from Andriy Yarmolenko.

The Hammers even brought on their normally ruthless penalty taker and club captain Mark Noble to take it with his only kick of the game.

But the Red Devils goalkeeper De Gea pulled off a stunning stop to maintain his team's lead for the last few seconds before a 29th success Premier League away win was confirmed.

Man United goalie De Gea said:

"I saw Rice with the ball so I was expecting him to take the penalty but then I saw Noble.

"Last minute in the game and I make the save.

"It is a massive three points for us. It is always difficult to play here against West Ham so we are really happy."

The Red Devils won by 2-1 against West Ham courtesy of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jesse Lingard.

Manchester United now is second on the League table with the six-time Champions League winners – Liverpool on top.
