Scott McTominay was captaining the side in the absence of Harry Maguire and it was the Scottish midfielder who opened the scoring after just five minutes.

Donny van de Beek was particularly impressive in midfield but going into the second half, it was still just the single goal that the home side were leading by.

Juan Mata continued to pull the strings and Jesse Lingard was impressive in a rare start, but it was the McTominay strike that was enough for the win.
