The Sweden international was the unlikely goalscorer at Old Trafford as Erik Ten Hag's side claimed their seventh Premier League win of the season.
All seven of United's wins this season have been by one goal margins, with their frontmen yet to click into full gear.
Only Marcus Rashford among the Red Devils' attackers has a Premier League goal to his name so far.
The win eased the pressure on Ten Hag following a 4-3 defeat to FC Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.
With four wins in the last five top flight games, Lindelof reckons it is about time United's attackers stepped up to the plate.
“We want to score more goals and that’s the next step for us,” Lindelof said.
“Right now the most important thing is the three points and the result.
“But after that we have to keep going, keep working and building and hopefully we can score goals, close the game and not make it difficult for ourselves. But it’s step by step.
“We haven’t been playing at the highest level and we know that. We’ve just got to keep working hard.
“We’re (not far) off the top four, and it shows that even if we’re not playing at the highest level, we can still get a result.”
“It’s always special and nice to score a goal – I don’t score that many anymore,” the Sweden skipper told MUTV.
“To score the match-winner in front of the Stretford End is a special feeling and I felt that today.
“I saw the ball drop and I was thinking to myself ‘just try and hit it quite hard and quite high’. It was a good goal, I think.
“After the goal we dropped a little bit but, like I said, three points was the most important thing.”
Next up for Manchester United after the November international break is a trip to face Everton at Goodison Park.
