Manchester United‘s fairytale start under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer continued on Saturday when they eased past Fulham at Craven Cottage. 

Paul Pogba netted a brace in the 3-1 win while Anthony Martial capped off a fantastic day for the Red Devils which saw them leapfrog Chelsea into fourth.

Pogba, who has now scored 10 league goals in a single season for the first time in his career, got the visitors off to an emphatic start as he superbly finished from a difficult angle in the lunchtime kick off.

Everything has been going the Frenchman’s way since Solskjaer’s but someone who’s been needing a bit of momentum at Old Trafford as of late is Romelu Lukaku.

The Belgian striker started up top for United against the Cottagers and was hoping to break his run of five league games without a goal.

As Pogba thumped home the opener, Lukaku made a run in front of goal in the hope that the midfielder would pass the ball to him for a tap-in.

Replays showed Lukaku hilariously demanding why the ball wasn’t passed to him before quickly realising that the shot had in fact gone in leading to Lukaku applauding his team-mate.

The striker’s reaction, which wasn’t originally noticed at first, was picked up by Sky Sports pundits Jamie Redknapp, Louis Saha and Alex Scott who couldn’t help but laugh at the Belgium international.

Lukaku’s reaction was then picked up by fans on social media, who also saw the funny side of it.

One fan tweeted, ‘Look at Lukaku’s reaction after the goal!!! Still upset Pogba didn’t square it!!!’ which was followed by several laughing emojis.

Another laughed: ‘I don’t get Lukaku’s reaction after Pogba’s first goal, did he want an offside or something.’

However, some interpreted Lukaku’s actions as selfish.

One Twitter used said: ‘Just noticed Lukaku’s reaction to Pogba’s goal. Not a fan of that at all.’

Following the opener, Martial went on to make it 2-0 before Pogba extended United’s lead from the penalty spot.

Fulham eventually pulled one back but it was too little too late as Solskjaer and his men continue to go marching on. 

Manchester United‘s stars looked the epitome of contentment as they made their way back up north with yet another three points safely in the bag.

The Red Devils were preparing to travel from London to Stockport by train having earlier beaten Fulham 3-0 at Craven Cottage, with goals from Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial proving to be the difference. 

The ease with which they secured the victory was written in the relaxed looks on their faces as fans came out to greet their rejuvenated heroes.

Anthony Martial was greeted by two young fans but any potential requests for an autograph may have fallen on deaf ears.

The winger wore large blue headphones but was happy to offer a friendly hand on his way out.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looked taken aback by the number of fans outside but the rest of the squad looked as though everything was right with the world again.

And the relaxed expressions on the players’ faces reflects the lack of tension now at the club

That’s hardly surprising considering the 20-time champions have rediscovered the feel-good factor in recent weeks.

United are now 11 matches unbeaten under the new manager – of which ten have been victories.

Paul Pogba struck twice as he led his rejuvenated comrades to a comfortable victory at Craven Cottage.

Anthony Martial also etched his name onto the scoresheet – the 50th goal he is been involved in while at the club, comprising 33 goals and 17 assists.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp hailed his side’s fortitude as they bounced back from a couple of dodgy results to beat Bournemouth 3-0 at Anfield and return to the top of the Premier League.

Gini Wijnaldum clambered off his sickbed and Footballer of the Year Mo Salah maintained his incredible scoring record as Liverpool eased their nerves after successive draws against Leicester and West Ham.

They now lead Manchester City by three points with 12 games left apiece. City play the first of theirs against Chelsea on Sunday.

The Reds took the lead through Sadio Mane on 24 minutes and were rarely troubled

‘That is the reaction we wanted to show,’ proclaimed Klopp. ‘We are very self-critical and it was clear we were not happy with the two previous performances.

‘We analysed it and wanted to play convincing football and to perform against Bournemouth. That is what we did – it was outstanding and a very good sign for us.’

However, Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe also feels Liverpool got the luck of prospective champions after being told by his coaching staff that Sadio Mane’s opening headed goal after 24 minutes shouldn’t have been allowed.

‘It was a huge moment. We set up to frustrate them and we did restrict them space until the first goal. It was half-a-yard offside, a huge turning point.

‘VAR will help in those situations and I think it will benefit everybody (when it’s introduced in the Premier League next season). That type of goal is clearly offside and we will get the right decision.’

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe said VAR would have chalked off Mane’s early strike for offside

With Liverpool nerves on tenterhooks as they chase a first title since 1990, Klopp issued a rallying cry in the pre-match programme, pledging that his team would “relish the moment.”

Wijnaldum declared himself fit having stayed away from the team hotel on Friday night with diarrhoea and added a classy second goal after 34 minutes. ‘I was only concerned when everyone went to hug him,’ quipped Klopp.

Salah then added a third – his 49th Premier League goal in 62 games – and has never gone three league games without a goal for Liverpool.

Klopp said: ‘The mentality of these boys is the only reason we are where we are. People were critical of Milly’s (James Milner) performance against West Ham which was a joke because he was also ill.

 Mo’s goal record is really good but the performance was brilliant. He played an outstanding game, Bournemouth found him undefendable.

‘This is the football he is capable of playing. He was involved in everything, sometimes dropping a bit in the half spaces and that is exactly how he has to play.

‘Roberto Firmino gave him that little pass when most players would have tried to shoot, and obviously it was a cool finish from Mo.’

Klopp hugged every player and saluted the Anfield fans at full-time. ‘I would shake the hands of all 50,000 if I could but they wouldn’t be able to keep the stadium open for long enough,’ he said.

‘We can’t play in a stadium that is silent. I am proud of everything including the fans.’
