Two brilliant goals to get us back to winning ways. Two great cool finishes and only the boot of the Southampton keeper prevented the hat-trick.
' 'Phew, we all feared things going Pete Tong when that sucker punch of an opener went in didn’t we? That was against the run of play and that remained the case, as a controlled and professional performance delivered the win we needed to bounce back from last week. Another full week to recover and with rivals knocking lumps out of each other, a chance to make up some ground again if we can keep the form ticking against Fulham. Couple of scares and a couple of welcome interventions from the VAR… but a 5th straight away win and everything feels a bit better now.' 'His usual excellent overall display but this time, a goal on top of it! We have some really clever players and the Isak header and to Gordon who then played Tonali in to score, wow!!' 'One poor defensive moment and whilst Southampton had a couple of other efforts on target, never really in doubt. The referee was hopeless and once again, thank you to VAR. Matt Busby said to Joe Harvey…: ‘That’s five wins from our last six trips to Sourhampton, a place where we couldn’t buy a win for years, and a potential banana skin avoided. It maybe didn’t feel like that after ten minutes but we steadied ourselves with Alex Isak’s brace edging us ahead before half time. We needed that and we needed the performance with it too. And we are back in the mix. This lot used to be our bogey side but they got cleaned up today and in front of our chief tormentor Le Tissier too. Special mention to Dubravka who made a fantastic save just before we got our third. He deserves his place.’ Was a touch worried when we went behind but a professional performance in the end that could have been an even more emphatic win. Two more goals for the super Swede got us back into this contest, sparing a few blushes against the league’s bottom side. That setback was rectified professionally and Tonali came up with a killer third goal after half time to seal victory. This team making it four consecutive away Premier League wins for the first time since 1996. “It’s a great result and especially for the fans up in the early hours to get down to the south coast.’ Well if he’s leaving that was one hell of a send off. Normally I like to watch the match, not through the lens of my phone. But at FT I wish I’d made an exception. When the team come out today we were roared on by 3,000 fans baying for a turnaround after the Bournemouth farce. Today was more about performance than the result, as anything other than an in your face and at them display might have given Arsenal a sniff in the return leg.’ Never forget the season Derby only got 11 points and four of them were against us! This dire Southampton side could well set a new record and at least we won’t be a footnote if they do.’ (Carabao Cup final is on Sunday 16 March, so the Palace match would be postponed if United get to the final)Stunning new Newcastle United revenues announced – 2023/24 accounts break all recordsSubmitting your details indicates your consent for The Mag to send you email marketing messages and process personal data.
