English F.A. Cup: Manchester United 2 - Derby County 0
[]
Sports Scene moves to the football pitch now, and action from the F-A Cup. Manchester United hosting Championship side Derby County in the third round of the event. After losing to Derby's Championship promotion rivals Bristol City in the League Cup, Jose Mourinho wanted to make sure there was no repeat of that performance.
Romelu Lukalu, who returned from a head injury as a halftime substitute for Henrikh Mkhitaryan, lays the ball off to Jesse Lingard, sends a 20-yard shot on the bounce into the top corner. The Belgian later seals victory after playing a one-two with Anthony Martial to cap off a counter attack and powers his shot past goalkeeper Scott Carson in the dying moments. That is how it ends and the 2-nil home win successfully sends Mourinho's men into the fourth round.
In another aciton, Liverpool facing against city rivals Everton, and the Reds take a lead through a 35th minute penalty from James Milner. Jurgen Klopp looked frustrated after Gylfi Sigurdsson brought Everton level in the 67th minute after a brilliant counter-attack from Sam Allardyce's side. But Virgil Van Dijk, who was signed last week from Southampton for a reported fee of $101.7 million, proved his value, scoring the winner in the 84th minute with a perfectly placed header from a corner kick. The Dutchman's dream debut helps seal victory and helps Klopp's men move on to the next round.
