Sports stars celebrate Jesse's mindset
Manchester United attacker Jesse Lingard has received praise from big sports celebrities following his wonder-strike against West Ham United on Sunday.
Our no.14 made an all-important contribution as the Reds came away from the London Stadium with three vital Premier League points.
The Academy graduate cut inside from the left to smash in United’s winning goal with a minute to go in the capital.
Lingard: I had to do my bit
ArticleThe winger bagged a late winner against West Ham.
After the 2-1 victory, Lingard spoke openly about how important it was for him to bounce back after the mistake against Young Boys five days earlier.
"That’s football," he told club media.
"It’s the highs and lows, and the lads, the staff and the fans have been behind me all week. It was great to come on and get some minutes today."
‘it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward.’ #Jlingz
