Man United got back to winning ways after narrowly edging past defending Champions Chelsea 2-1, with substitute Jesse Lingard scoring the winner.

The Champions stunned the home side as a counter-attack from a Man United corner saw Eden Hazard skip past defenders and play a perfect ball through to Willian who fired in a scorching shot past David De Gea's near post.

The lead lasted just seven minutes as Alexis Sanchez and Anthony Martial played a neat one-two, setting-up Romelu Lukaku for a close-range finish; his first goal against his former club and first against any of the top-6 this season.

With the game inevitably set to finish with honors even, Romelu Lukaku's cross down the right wing set-up the substitute Jesse Lingard who scored a clever header to win the game.
