Edinson Cavani fell off the seat and scored twice to rouse Manchester United to a 3-2 success over Southampton at St.Mary’s.
Jan Bednarek and a free-kick from James Ward-Prowse had given the hosts a 2-0 lead before Bruno Fernandes and Cavani made all the difference for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the last half-hour.
Here is the thing that we made of it …
1. Supersub:
Most of the individuals laughed at the idea of a 34-year-old Edinson Cavani getting paperwork done for Manchester United, with pundits recommending this was another illustration of Ed Woodward acquiring a ‘Hollywood name’ to keep the fans upbeat.
All things considered, we as a whole may need to backpedal on everything that was said after the present appearing on the south coast.
The Uruguayan hopped from the seat at half-time and created two unequivocal headers to grab a triumph from the jaws of destruction, something Manchester United used to be fussbudgets at pulling off. This is the thing that Cavani has a skill for, scoring enormous objectives in defining moments at conclusive minutes.

United looked undeniably more adjusted as a group in the second half with Cavani the lead in advance. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had begun the game with a precious stone arrangement yet the couple of Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood in assault neglected to make the ball stick in the main half.
Cavani got United up the pitch and figured out how to bring Bruno Fernandes and Donny van de Beek into the game all the more consistently, while Rashford had the option to be more successful with an accomplice involving the middle parts for him.
Most likely he has done what’s necessary to procure a spot from the beginning against his previous club PSG in midweek.
2. Something beyond punishments :
Bruno Fernandes merits more regard than scoring just penalties.
The 26-year-old was vital to Man United’s rebound this evening with a much needed neat opener and aid the subsequent half, and was the main player who admired scratch during a dismal first half.
United’s outcomes over the long haul have improved since the appearance of the Portuguese midfielder in January and maybe he merits more credit for what he brings to this group. Fernandes weaves everything together for United and is for most of the time their solitary wellspring of inventiveness.

The manner in which he defies the remainder of his partners consistently shows the qualities he has, yet you need to contemplate whether he is beginning to get increasingly more baffled with the degree of a portion of the players around him.
United pulled off one today and were mind-boggling in the subsequent half, yet that can’t hide the faults of a portion of the dross in plain view in the initial 45 minutes.
3. Record away win for United.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side set a club precedent with an eighth consecutive first-class away win for our set of experiences. We are likewise the main side in Premier League history to win four continuous away games notwithstanding following in each. In another intriguing detail, United have dug out from a deficit to beat Southampton for the tenth time in the Premier League, just us ourselves have won the same number of from behind against a rival in the opposition (10 versus Newcastle).
