Southampton dominated early on but squandered a chance to take the lead in the 34th minute when United goalkeeper AndrĂ© Onana saved a poor penalty from Cameron Archer, instantly turning the tide at St. Mary’s Stadium.

A minute later, De Ligt headed in a beautiful ball from Bruno Fernandes. Rashford, who had gone 13 games without a goal, ended his drought in the 45th minute with a diagonal shot from outside the box into the far corner.

In the 79th minute the home side were reduced to 10 men when defender Jack Stephens was sent off for a high tackle on Garnacho.
