    Chance! Nathan Redmond's floated cross is met by Charlie Austin's leap, only for the Saints striker's header to go straight at the away keeper.

    Saints are straight on the front foot. Ryan Bertrand chases down the away defence on the left flank, forcing them to concede an early corner...

    Southampton 0-0 Hapoel Beer Sheva

    After a minute's silence for the victims of last week's Colombian plane crash involving the Chapecoense football team from Brazil, the visitors kick off the game.

    A clean sheet and Southampton's European journey continues.

    Zorya Luhansk 0-2 Man Utd

    Manchester United matchwinner Henrikh Mkhitaryan, speaking to BT Sport: "I was waiting a long time for this goal. My next goal has to be at Old Trafford because I want to score at home.

    "The first half was a little difficult because we could not find the last pass but in the second half we created space for the wingers and the strikers."

    Southampton v Hapoel Beer Sheva (20:05 GMT)

    A lung-bursting rendition of 'When The Saints Go Marching In' quickly drowns out the Uefa anthem pumping out.

    The home fans are up for this one.

    Southampton v Hapoel Beer Sheva (20:05 GMT)

    Southampton:

    • will reach the last 32 with a win or a goalless draw
    • will go out if Hapoel win
    • will go out if the game finishes as a score draw because the reverse fixture in Israel ended 0-0

    Remember: Teams that finish level on points in their group are separated by the results in their head-to-head meetings, followed by away goals scored in those games and then finally overall goal difference.

    Clear?

    One becomes two. Can Southampton join Manchester United and Tottenham in the knockout phase?

    Here's a reminder of what they need...

    Zorya Luhansk 0-2 Man Utd

    Manchester United will be one of 32 teams in Monday's Europa League draw - who do you Red Devils fans fancy?

    But they will not be one of the seeded teams. Fenerbahce's 1-0 win at Feyenoord means they finish as Group A winners, with United going through in second place.

    Maccabi Tel Aviv 2-1 Dundalk

    Dundalk's fine European run ends with a defeat away to Maccabi Tel Aviv which means the Irish club finish bottom of Group D in the Europa League.

    Still Stephen Kenny's men made history by becoming the first Irish club to earn points in the group stages of a European competition. All good things...

    Maccabi don't go through either as AZ beat Zenit 3-2 to finish second in Group D.

    Zorya Luhansk 0-2 Man Utd

    Paul Pogba tries to dance around a couple of Zorya defenders as he cuts into the home box from the right. But he loses his feet and appeals for something. Not sure what. Doesn't matter.

    Time for the fourth official to get involved in the action. He raises his electronic board to reveal there will be three minutes of added time.

    GOAL - Zorya Luhansk 0-2 Man Utdpublished at 87 mins

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic

    Game. Set. Match.

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic seals Manchester United's place in the Europa League last 32.

    The Swedish striker is sent scampering clear of the home defence by Paul Pogba's brilliant pass from inside his own half. And Ibrahimovic does the rest, coolly waiting for the home keeper to commit before dinking into the far corner from 10 yards.

    Zorya Luhansk 0-1 Man Utd

    Henrikh Mkhitaryan's shift is over. A standing ovation from the away end for the man who is on course to be the matchwinner. He's starting to look like a player worth shelling out £27m for.

    Timothy Fosu-Mensah is the man who replaces him.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 82 mins

    Zorya Luhansk 0-1 Man Utd

    I thought we were going to go through a whole game without a booking for a moment. Ander Herrera puts paid to that. He sees yellow for a clumsy challenge near the halfway line.

    Whooosh! Zlatan Ibrahimovic shaves the top of the Zorya crossbar with a stinging 18-yard drive. Ten minutes for the visitors to see this one out....

    Zorya briefly threaten up the other end but Eric Bailly rides to the rescue. The Manchester United defender doesn't appear to be feeling any ill effects of that earlier heavy landing.

    Zorya Luhansk 0-1 Man Utd

    Whatever Henrikh Mkhitaryan can do, Jesse Lingard...can't do. On this occasion at least. Lingard jinks inside from the left across the 18-yard line, only to skew his shot well wide.
