Manchester United took on Premier League new comers, Southampton in the Premier League, as they looked to try and pick up three easy points from their game.
The match kicked off with United dominating the game early on, but to everyone’s surprise, It was Southampton who scored the first goal of the game.
In the 16th minute, Kagawa was caught in possession and the ball fell to Puncheon. The winger then whipped the ball into the box and Lambert arrived to head the ball into the back of the net.
United then continued to attack their opponents and in the 23rd minute of the game, the Red Devils had gone on to level things up in the match.

As a result, the score was now level at one goal apiece.
In the second half, Southampton looked to get something out of the game, as they took the game to United every time that they could.
Ten minutes after the restart was all that was needed for the home side to take the lead in the game once again.
Lambert went on to curl the ball into the box this time, as Evra slipped at the back post for United. Schneiderlin was left with the goal at his mercy, as he went on to send the ball crashing into the back of the net.
United could have gone level in the 68th minute, as they were awarded a penalty. However, a rather tame effort from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 was saved by the keeper, who made up for his mistake that led to the spot kick.
With just two minute left in the game, United charged forward once again. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rio-Ferdinand-c31173 went on to send a header crashing at the post, but saw the ball come back. Fortunately for United, the ball fell to RVP, who tapped in from close range.
With the referee set to blow his whistle, United were awarded a corner in stoppage time. As the corner was whipped in, Van Persie went on to nod the ball into the goal, as he scored his third goal of the game.
The goal also saw the Red Devils take all three points from the match, as they turned the game around to win by three goals to two.
