Bruno Fernandes has already been given United's goal of the season award for his strike against Everton.

Edinson Cavani will feel hard done by as his wonder strike is the difference between the two sides so far.

Ten attempts in the opening half an hour. Only one on target. It's been entertaining so far but Saints have not been able to make their chances count.

A glance at Fulham's heat map shows the Cottagers have been up against it....

Fulham are forced into an early change as Harrison Reed pulls up with a problem and cannot continue.

On comes the excellent Joachim Andersen at the back.

An Old Trafford audition for the on-loan Dane?

Andrew Chamberlain: Another poor VAR decision. Makes you wonder what they are watching as Fernandes clearly misses the ball and he was well off when De Gea played the ball!

Fulham get a rare sighting of the United area as Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa meets a corner with a towering header which David de Gea fumbles, but no visiting player is on hand to convert and the Spaniard can gather at the second attempt.

Jeers break out in the stands as Nathan Tella goes down inside the penalty area but referee Peter Bankes points for a goalkick instead of a penalty.

That was a really intelligent move involving Tella who has real pace and looks like he has a great future in front of him.

There's a carnival atmosphere inside St Mary's. Lots of enthusiastic clapping and cheering. It's seeping onto the pitch where Southampton's players have responded well to having fans back in the ground.

Carter: I've missed crowds shouting SHOOOOT more than I realised.

Fulham playing very much like a team that are down.

The main man Bruno Fernandes smashes a first-time effort from the edge of the area which Alphonse Areola pushes to safety.

Daniel Godly: What a goal by Cavani... and that’s coming from a Fulham fan

Eteyen: Oh my God! Edinson Cavani....what did I just witness? What a goal

Ideozu-Frank Sampson: Come to think of it now, he's wasted his entire career in France Cavani! Think he regretted not coming earlier

Big chance for Leeds!

They've had their backs against the wall but they break and it falls invitingly for Stuart Dallas but he drags a first-time attempt wide.

A warning for Southampton who haven't been able to convert their chances into goals.

It's a really good, enjoyable match of football. It's two teams who are taking each other on, wanting to win the game and it's quite refreshing to see at this time of year.

You can feel the game ebb and flow to the beat of the crowd, the referees get influenced by it, so do the players.

It will have a difference on the outcome of matches.

Six attempts in 20 minutes. Stuart Armstrong is the latest to have a pop after lining one up from outside the box. It fizzes wide. Southampton have got to start making these chances count.

Josh Earl: WOW. Goal of the season right there. Sensational.

Mr M Harding: Who needs Kane? We’ve got Cavani.

babyboomer: Looks like it could be an assist from David de Gea on what could be his last match at old Trafford. Wonder if he will go up for a corner late on and do an Alisson?

Edinson Cavani is only the third Man Utd player to reach 10+ goals in a single Premier League season while aged 33 or over at the start of that campaign, after Teddy Sheringham in 2000-01 and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in 2016-17

If you have to wait over 14 months to see a goal, it needs to be worth the wait.

That was. Brilliant. Perfect executive by Cavani. First time he has scored in front of fans at Old Trafford as a Manchester United player.
