Jesse Lingard *loves* Wembley.
The last time he played there he bagged the winner for Manchester United in the FA Cup Final.
And now, in the first game of the new season, he’s scored another stunner under the arch, this time in the Community Shield against last season’s title winners, Leicester City.
After picking up the ball on the edge of the centre circle he then danced right through Leicester’s midfield and defence, passing at least four players before firing the ball past Kasper Schmeichel to put United ahead.
What a superb solo goal. @JesseLingard dances through the @LCFC defence to give @ManUtd the lead.🔥 #CommunityShield https://t.co/A4YMerfonQ

The goal certainly impressed the Twitterati, though the only thing that was discussed more than the run itself was Lingard’s debut of his new celebration (which you can see in the vid above) which certainly divided opinion among supporters.
What kind of celebration is that Lingard? 😂😂
