Man Utd midfielder Lingard delighted with brace for Cardiff thrashing

Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard was delighted with his brace for victory at Cardiff City.

Lingard admits he stepped forward on instinct to take his successful penalty for the 5-1 win.

"I just thought I had the confidence to go on and take it. I hadn't taken a penalty for ages," Lingard admitted, “but I felt I had the confidence, and after that I wanted to go on and score more goals and I got the second at the end.

"It was a good team performance overall. We didn't panic when we conceded. We kept the right mentality and we pushed on. I think Anthony's goal killed them, for the 3-1, and then we wanted more and pushed on.“
