Jesse Lingard absolutely ruined two Aston Villa stars with an audacious skill during Manchester United's 1-0 victory in the FA Cup on Monday evening.
12-time winners of the competition, the Red Devils, booked their place in the fourth round thanks to Scott McTominay's second goal of the season.
Despite being second best for the majority of the contest, Ralf Rangnick's men rode out a second-half storm from Villa, who can count themselves unfortunate to have not forced extra-time.
Twice the away side were denied an equaliser, with an intervention from VAR and then the linesman's flag ruling out two equalisers for the Villains.
And though Steven Gerrard's side can take immense pride from their showing at the Theatre of Dreams, Jesse Lingard still caused them a moment of embarrassment.
The 28-year-old was a second-half substitute as the Red Devils sought to see out the contest but his brief four-minute cameo was still enough time to show interim boss Rangnick what he's missing.
Picking up the ball next to the corner flag, In the dying embers of the match, Lingard bested both Ezri Konsa and Matt Targett with a left-footed dragback and the Villa pair were dumbfounded at where the ball ended up.
