Highlights
↔
90' + 3' GOOOOAAALLL!!! MAN UNITED 9-0 SOUTHAMPTON!!! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!! United are scoring from every attack! Fernandes heads an angled pass into the path of James and the winger uses the outside of his boot to flick the ball past McCarthy.
90' GOOOAAALLL!!! MAN UNITED 8-0 SOUTHAMPTON!! This crazy Premier League season is about to provide us with another remarkable result. Wan-Bissaka's cross from the right takes a touch and lands in the path of Martial. The France international is a little off balance but has the composure to fire United's eight goal past McCarthy.
87' GOOOAAALLL!!! MAN UNITED 7-0 SOUTHAMPTON!! Fernandes had to wait a while to take the spot-kick as Bednarek was reluctant to leave the pitch, but once he stepped up the Portuguese made no mistake. McCarthy dived to his left and Fernandes went the opposite way.
71' GOOOOAAALLL!!! MAN UNITED 6-0 SOUTHAMPTON!! Greenwood is denied by a good McCarthy save but there is no keeping out McTominay's low drive from outside the box. The precision of the shot leaves McCarthy with no chance of keeping it out.
69' GOOOOAAAALLL!!! MAN UNITED 5-0 SOUTHAMPTON!! Martial's goal drought is over! The half-time substitute chests Fernandes' lofted pass away from Bednarek and then thumps the ball past McCarthy into the roof of the net from a slight angle.
39' GOOOOOAAAALLL!!! MAN UNITED 4-0 SOUTHAMPTON!! As simple as you like for United! Shaw crosses from the right and an unmarked Cavani heads the ball away from McCarthy. This is turning into a bit of a rout.
34' GOOOOAAAALLL!!! MAN UNITED 3-0 SOUTHAMPTON!! This is starting to get embarrassing for Southampton now. Rashford fizzes a cross in from the right and Bednarek, wary of Fred positioned behind him, sticks out a leg and diverts the ball past his own goalkeeper.
25' GOOOOAAAALLL!!! MAN UNITED 2-0 SOUTHAMPTON!! This is a brilliantly-worked second goal from the home side. Maguire plays the ball long and Greenwood is slipped in down the left. The youngster picks out Rashford near the penalty spot to guide a shot past McCarthy.
18' GOOOOAAAAALLL!!! MAN UNITED 1-0 SOUTHAMPTON!! The hosts' full-backs combine as Shaw sends in a cross from the left for Wan-Bissaka to fire past McCarthy with a first-time finish near the back post. Poor defending from Southampton, but nicely worked from United.
