Recap

Lingard came through in the end to hand United three big points against a Chelsea side that dominated the first half and appeared the more likely to score after the break as well.

Willian scored the opener just after the half-hour mark, but a clever passing move from the hosts set up Romelu Lukaku for the equaliser six minutes before half-time.

The Belgium international turned provider for Lingard's goal in the 75th minute, lofting a cross into the box only the winger could get to.

ESPN FC's Mark Worrall thought the Blues mostly had themselves to blame for the defeat:

With the win, United moved back in front of Liverpool, who beat West Ham United on Saturday. The Red Devils will visit Crystal Palace next.

The Eagles appeared to be on their way to a draw against Spurs in their Sunday outing, but Kane nodded home in the 88th minute to move his side into fourth place―ahead of Chelsea.

Bleacher Report's Dean Jones hopes the star striker can maintain his incredible scoring rate:

ESPN FC's Adam Hurrey noted one of his team-mates had an outing to forget:

Spurs were far from their best, and the maturity they showed in the win is a major positive. There's plenty of football still to be played this season, but the north Londoners seem a good bet to finish in the top four.
