Jerson Cabral, who started his career at Feyenoord, sent the ball into the centre of the box, where Pogba rose between Terence Kongolo and Jan-Arie van der Heijden to head beyond ex-Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Jones.

It is Pogba's fourth league goal of the season and saw them go five points clear of the relegation playoff places as they claimed the win.
