    "I think he (Koeman) should have made this change a while back and been more positive.They played the game as if they were ahead rather than United being ahead."

    You have to say, it has been a brilliant response from the visitors after falling behind.

    However, Southampton break at the other end and Sadio Mane goes down in the box.

    It's theatrical and there's no need for it, as he could have had a shot on goal if he stayed on his feet. Chance gone.

    Christos Papaloizo : What a goal. Pass, pass, pass, teasing them, then killer skill and goal.

    Ashic Mahtab : Southampton were rampant in the opening 30. Seems like they've now surrendered. United looking quite composed now.

    Matt Harding : Wow. Schweinsteiger brings such a calming presence to Utd's midfield. Composed, in charge, brings out the best in all round him.

    Virgil van Dijk

    The Dutchman is done for pace by Anthony Martial, and Virgil van Dijk resorts to pulling back the Frenchman to earn himself a yellow card.

    In the end, the Southampton defenders got a little dizzy as United slotted in the third. That is some move. A mesmerising 45 passes.

    "An excellent finish from Mata. It was almost like he expected that ball to come back to him. He knew exactly what he had to do."

    GOAL - Southampton 1-3 Man Utdpublished at 17:25 British Summer Time 20 September 2015

    Juan Mata (68 mins)

    This is some goal!

    Tick, tick, tick, the move didn't look like going anywhere and suddenly it burst into life. Memphis Depay made a quick turn in the box and smashed a low shot which strikes the post, but Juan Mata was on hand inside the area to tuck in. Game over?

    "You still can't help think Southampton will be kicking themselves to find themselves in this position. But it's up to them now.

    "Man United will keep the ball and make the game a slow game and it's up to Southampton to put some tempo into the game and cut lose a little bit. Even they have played within themselves."

    Pass, pass, pass. Fine doing that now, as they hold a lead. Making Southampton work from side to side. This will take its toll as the game moves into the final stages.

    Cuco Martino nearly copies his team-mate Maya Yoshida, as Memphis Depay nearly gets on the end of backpass, but Maarten Stekelenburg was quick to react. 

    Game getting a little scrappy now.

    A disappointing corner from Memphis Depay, too long and rolls all the way across for a throw in at the other side of the pitch.

    United starting to monopolise possession again, switching it from left to right. Can they grab a third?

    Alex Kraushaar : All Saints hard work undone by defensive frailties, don't think it's the last time that'll be said this season.

    Charles Kahanji : Seems Southampton's Maya Yoshida is still in celebratory mood after that Boks hammering in the #RugbyWorldCup, external

    Brian Yerkes : Martial showing why Rooney shouldn't be considered an out and out striker ever again. Two league, games, 3 goals.

    WHAT A SAVE! Jose Fonte with a flicked header from the corner and David De Gea stretches high to his left to claw it away. That is a top save and that is why he is in the team.
