However, Marcus Rashford (20) levelled things up eight minutes later before a superb Anthony Martial (23) strike put Manchester United ahead until deep into second half injury time when Michael Obafemi (90+6) bundled the ball home.

Earlier, Southamptons Oriol Romeu escaped sanction for what looked like a nasty tackle on Mason Greenwood just before halftime.
VAR decided Romeu should not be sent off and Manchester United legend Gary Neville was stunned in commentary.
I do not like that, he said.. I think thats a bad one. The balls gone, hes tried to do him.
I think hes lucky there, Romeu. The balls gone, they can be leg breakers those ones.
