Shock as Southampton stuns Manchester united in a 2:2 draw. Manchester United missed the chance to go third in the Premier League table as Southampton secured a late 2-2 draw at Old Trafford.

With his side on a 17-match unbeaten run, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer saw no reason to switch things around by naming an unchanged XI for the five consecutive matches – the first time this has happened in 27 years at Manchester United.

Ralph Hasenhuttl also decided against rotating his side, having seen his side pick up four points against Man City and Newcastle. And for good reason too. The Saints were fast out of the blocks, pressing with purpose and trying to unsettle the United backline and looked every bit a side improving with every game.

But the hosts should have taken the lead when Anthony Martial seized upon James Ward-Prowse’s poor touch, only to see his effort blocked by Alex McCarthy.

That miss proved costly just two minutes later when Southampton opened the scoring. Paul Pogba was caught in possession by Danny Ings and Nathan Redmond crossed to Armstrong, who hammered past David De Gea to give the visitors a shock lead.
