6 - Anthony Martial's assist for Marcus Rashford's equaliser was the sixth time the pair have combined for a goal in the Premier League this season - no duo have combined for more goals for ManUtd in a single season in the competition. Understanding.

Bruno Fernandes has now provided seven Premier League assists in 2020, more than any other player in the competition.

Reminder: Bruno Fernandes only made his PL debut in February.

July 4: Bruno Fernandes assists Anthony Martial at Old Trafford

July 13: Bruno Fernandes assists Anthony Martial at Old Trafford

This is turning into some partnership.

Even Baba Jazzy couldn’t keep calm

142 games. 50 goals.

Anthony Martial is the 10th Manchester United player to score a half-century of Premier League goals for the club.

StatmanDave

Bruno Fernandes has been directly involved in 14 Premier League goals this season, no January signing has ever been involved in more in their debut campaign.

Unbelievable start to life in red.

13': Man Utd 0-1 Southampton
20': Man Utd 1-1 Southampton
23': Man Utd 2-1 Southampton

United turn it around with two goals in the space of 151 seconds.

10 - Anthony Martial is the 10th different player to score 50 Premier League goals for ManUtd - no team has had more different players reach the milestone for them in the competition. Nifty.

StatmanDave

Only three clubs have two players with over 15 goals in the Premier League this season:

Man Utd — Martial & Rashford
Man City — Agüero & Sterling
Liverpool — Manè & Salah

Deadly duos.

5 - Stuart Armstrong has been involved in five goals in his last six Premier League games (2 goals, 3 assists), as many as he had in his previous 40 in the competition. Opener.

Squawka

Man Utd have now conceded more goals in their last two PL games at Old Trafford (3) than they did in their first six home games of 2020 (2).

United trail at Old Trafford again.

27 - Only Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea have won more points away from home in the Premier League this season than Southampton FC. Chance.

400 – David DeGea is making his 400th appearance in all competitions for Manchester United; he’s kept 140 clean sheets so far for the Red Devils. Milestone.

For the first time since 1993, Man Utd have named the same starting XI in five consecutive Premier League games.

If it ain't broke...

Bruno Fernandes has won 75% of the monthly Premier League player awards since making his Man Utd debut:

✓ February Player of the Month
✓ June Player of the Month
✓ June Goal of the Month

Bonkers.

Squawka


Since the Premier League Goal of the Month was introduced at the start of the 2016/17 season, Bruno Fernandes is the first player to win both in the same month.

It's pretty ridiculous.

Man Utd XI vs. Southampton (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelöf, Maguire, Shaw; Matic, Pogba; Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford; Martial.

StatmanDave

Bruno Fernandes has been directly involved in a Premier League goal every 67 minutes on average.

Transformative.

Mason Greenwood when starting at RW this season:

Anthony Martial's Premier League season by numbers so far for Man Utd:

❍ 28 games
❍ 15 goals
❍ 4 assists

"I think that if he continues like this he'll be one of the best strikers or attacking players in the world."

Arsenal's last 27 away games against the traditional 'Top Six' in the Premier League:

1+1 - Son Heung-Min is the first Spurs player to score and assist in a Premier League game against Arsenal since February 2012, when Emmanuel Adebayor did so. Crucial.

Toby Alderweireld is the first Tottenham player to score against Arsenal at both White Hart Lane and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Into the record books.

Hector Bellerin's average position was higher up the pitch than Nicolas Pépé in the first 30 minutes for Arsenal against Spurs.

So much for that front three.

1 - Son Heung-Min has scored his first Premier League goal against Arsenal (10th such appearance), equalising just 137 seconds after the Gunners had opened the scoring. Response.

Two Tottenham Hotspur players have scored double figures in the Premier League this season:

An instant reply.

2 - Alexandre Lacazette is the first Arsenal player to score home and away against Spurs in a single league season since Per Mertesacker in 2012-13. Venom.

StatmanDave

Alexandre Lacazette has scored 3 goals against Tottenham Hotspur — the joint most he has against a Premier League side.

Arsenal didn’t get to enjoy his goal for long though. �

Muhammad Butt.

in all seriousness I don't know if there's a better way to sum up the shambolic state of these two sides better than their stud strikers fluffing 1v1's in the opening 15 minutes.

5 - Tottenham are unbeaten in their last five home league games against Arsenal (W3 D2), with this the first ever meeting between the sides at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Stakes.
