The opening goal was scored by Nemanja Matic from close-range after a header by Viktor Lindelof was saved by Jonas Lossl.

Pogba, who spent a lot of time on the bench in recent times under Mourinho, netted a sensational brace in the second half to cap-off the dominating win under Solksjaer who has brought about a change of mood at Old Trafford.

Chelsea beat Watford

Eden Hazard netted a brace as Chelsea returned to winning ways after edging past Watford 2-1.

The Belgian winger scored the opening goal for his side after receiving a pass from Mateo Kovacic. This was his 100th goal in a Chelsea shirt.

However, that lead lasted only for two minutes after Roberto Pereyra equalised for Watford from 18-yards with a volley past Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Goalkeeper Ben Foster took down Hazard in the second half for a penalty to be awarded to Maurizio Sarri’s side and Hazard made no mistake in slotting it into the back of the net who walk away with three points.
