Manchester United beats Southampton 9-0 to equalize Premier League Record on winning margin

Manchester United put nine goals past Southampton in a record-equalling Premier League victory. Jankewitz was sent off for the visiting side a little over a minute into his debut and United took full advantage through goals from Wan-Bissaka, Rashford, Cavani and a Bednarek own goal before half-time.

Adams had a goal ruled out then Martial opened the scoring in the second half, smashing the ball past a helpless McCarthy.

McTominay added another shortly after with a wonderful effort from the edge of the penalty area.

Bednarek conceded a penalty on minute 85, denying Martial of a goalscoring opportunity – Mike Dean went over to the monitor before giving the defender his marching orders.

Fernandes hopped, skipped and added United’s seventh.

Martial got his brace in stoppage time, bringing down Wan-Bissaka’s cross and firing into the back of the net.

And right at the death, Fernandes headed Greenwood’s excellent cross into the path of James who steered the ball past McCarthy.

This win lifts United level on points with leaders Manchester City, albeit having played two games more than their bitter rivals. As for Southampton, they are without a point in four Premier League matches and stay in 12th after this historically bad result.
