United pushed for the victory in the second-half with Lukaku hitting the post, and ultimately the Belgian provided the decisive flick which allowed Martial to become the Old Trafford hero. Martial has witnessed mixed performances from the starting lineup of late, but the Frenchman managed to come up with the perfect response with his fourth goal from the bench this term.
