Lights on for Luke
So the initial reaction was only about 10 times wrong/off the mark!101greatgoals.com has a video up of a Championship roundup, and Lingard's goal is there.
It's more like 3.5 yards...

Looking at transfermarkt's statistics, he's played 4 matches for Birmingham in the month's loan, scoring 5 goals and has played 339 minutes.How is it actually going so far? How many matches has he played in since those first two?
I hope he comes back next year, impresses on tour again and then challenges for a squad place the way Januzaj has been. If not, then maybe a premier league loan somewhere that plays good football. I think he's good enough, not that I'm suggesting he'll be a first team regular, but id like to see him over the likes of young.Pleased he is staying. He needs as many games as he can get. And he just wouldn't get that at United this season.
Birmingham made the brighter start thanks to ex-Huddersfield striker Lee Novak, who played in a wide role for the visitors.
He forced home keeper Alex Smithies into a good save early on. Lingard won a 50-50 in the centre circle and Nikola Zigic put Novak through.
Novak then helped put Birmingham in front with a shot from a tight angle on 11 minutes which keeper Alex Smithies did well to parry.
Zigic, who stands at 6ft 7ins, showed good athleticism to slide in at the far post and hook the rebound over the line from close range.
Who is to say he won't be better than them ? He damn near out performed everyone on two consecutive tours.He might make it as a backup player. His problem will be that we have better players than him that are already battling it out for game time in his positions.
Brilliant cameo tonight. Set up England's 3rd with a wonderful bit of play and basically out-Ravel'd Ravel in the 10 minutes he got as Morrison's replacement.
Look at Gnabry at Arsenal. He's nothing special really, certainly no better a player than Jesse, and he's had game time for the league leaders and done well.Really hope he gets his chance next year to replace Young, he can't be worse than him.
He scored some good goals on tour but I thought Januzaj was star man. The likes of Morrison and Januzaj have generally out performed Lingard with the u21s and I just think they're more talented. In my opinion Januzaj could be one of the worlds best players. I couldn't say that about Lingard, though he could be a good player here.Who is to say he won't be better than them ?

Gnabry looks special enough to me. Well, very good anyway, and I'm sure we'd be well chuffed if he was performing for us at his age.Look at Gnabry at Arsenal. He's nothing special really, certainly no better a player than Jesse, and he's had game time for the league leaders and done well.
I've not seen enough of him to judge, but seems more powerful and quicker then Lingard. Looks a good prospect and highly rated for a while at Arsenal.
Or Young'sGnabry looks special enough to me. Well, very good anyway, and I'm sure we'd be well chuffed if he was performing for us at his age.
Jesse is technically sound though, and quite positive in his play. He may eventually threaten Clevz spot in our squad I think.
I wouldn't take rated by Arsenal with any more than a pinch of salt. They've supposedly had the best youngsters in the whole world coming through the ranks for what, 30 years?
Regardless he seems like he could be a good player.
