Jesse Lingard cannot put his finger on any reasons behind his fantastic scoring record at Wembley but was pleased to make a telling contribution as Manchester United won the EFL Cup.
The England international was recalled to the starting line-up by Jose Mourinho and operated in the no.10 role to great effect, capping an impressive display with the second goal in the Reds’ thrilling 3-2 win over Southampton in Sunday’s final.
The national stadium is quickly becoming Lingard’s second home after his memorable winner in the Emirates FA Cup final against Crystal Palace last May and well-taken goal in the Community Shield versus Leicester City at the start of this season.
