After controlling a headed clearance, Lingard sent his defender the wrong way before curling his shot into the top-right corner.

Despite the ex-United star's finish, Seoul went on to lose 3-1 at the Gwangju Football Stadium.

Lingard took to social media to issue a message to fans following the defeat.

Alongside a video of his goal, he wrote: "Last 5 games to achieve our goal 🙏."
