Manchester United’s winless draw has been stretched to 3 games after playing a draw against Southampton. The Red Devils came from behind after conceding 2 goals in opening 20 minutes of the match that aroused the chants of home fans manifolds.
United had the chance to open scoring as early as third minute when Mccarthy stumbled while clearing the ball but came back stronger to deny Lukaku a goal.
Two breathtaking strikes from Stuart Armstrong and Cedric left the away team in a dreadful situation. Nothing could stop two first-rate strikes into left corner, not even World’s best goalkeeper. While Armstrong hit a swift lowly in from an acute angle in 13th minute, Cedric converted a free-kick into a sublime top corner shoot, seven minutes later.
The Belgian international’s 12 match drought came to an end courtesy Rashford’s hard work and a first-rate assist in a perfect spot. Lukaku fired the ball past Mccarthy with his favourite left leg to reduce the lead to only one goal.
Marcus Rashford again proved his penny worth when he took on 4 defenders of Southampton, wriggling through towards the goal before he swooped in from the line to Herrera running towards the goal only to finish it with cheeky flick. And there it was, United with another comeback, with another threat of winning from bottom.
The second half went down goalless to settle the teams for a point apiece. None of the two could fancy a shot that could gain them the lead with United’s lacklustre performances stretching their run, a top 4 spot seems unlikely.
