Gimcheon Sangmu

<p>Lingard is in his second season at the South Korean club and opened his account for the campaign in just their second league game, grabbing the first goal of the 2-1 win. The former England international chipped the goalkeeper to score just after half-time and celebrated with his customary dance in front of the home fans.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Lingard was named FC Seoul captain ahead of the new season, a mark of how he has settled in at the club. The 32-year-old spoke recently about how he feels at home in South Korea and can feel the confidence returning to his game.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="in" dir="ltr">Lingard dengan gol pertama FC Seoul di musim ini.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Lingard told <em>The Independent</em>: "I didn't know what to expect but seeing the love and appreciation really settled me down and got my confidence up. I started getting a couple of assists, a couple of goals. When people ask for pictures, I always try. When you finish your career, and you’re not getting the applause you’re used to, it can really hit you. I feel like just enjoying every moment."</p>

WHAT LINGARD SAID

<p>FC Seoul return to action next Monday, when they host Gimcheon Sangmu in K League 1. </p>
