Manchester United smash nine-man Southampton 9-0 in English Premier League rout
Manchester United beat nine-man Southampton 9-0 on Tuesday to tie the biggest margin of victory in a Premier League match.
It came 15 months after Southampton lost by the same score line at home to Leicester, for the heaviest-ever home defeat.
The visitors were reduced to 10 men after 79 seconds when Alexandre Jankewitz was sent off for a dangerous high challenge on Scott McTominay, which left the United midfielder with stud marks on his thigh.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka put United ahead in the 18th minute, sliding in at the back post to turn in Luke Shaw’s curling cross.
Marcus Rashford added the second in the 25th minute with a confident first-time finish after good work from Shaw and Mason Greenwood down the left.
