Manchester United v Chelsea - Premier League
Lingard's scored the winner coming off the bench for United

A game against the blues in the past has been a title-decider on so many occasions and this time around, it was a battle for the second spot.

Chelsea were on an impressive run, but United at home are always a force to reckon with.

Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho's rivalry was intensifying in this time period and neither wanted to end up on the losing side.

The defending champions, against the run of play, drew first blood thanks to a scintillating counter-attack led by Eden Hazard.

He found Willian in acres of free space and the Brazilian absolutely hammered the ball into De Gea's net.

The smiles on the faces of the jubilant away fans vanished a few minutes later when Lukaku netted his first goal against a Premier League Top six club after donning the Red jersey. Sanchez provided the much-needed assist and there was a sigh of relief across Old Trafford.

Who else, but Lingard came off the bench in the second half to complete yet another satisfying comeback for United this season.

Lukaku delivered a peach of a cross and Lingard's header gave United a lead against the Blues.

Some top-notch defending helped them win this colossal encounter and Mourinho had the last laugh.
