Manchester United managed to secure a much-needed 3-0 victory against Southampton.
The game turned dramatically when United’s goalkeeper, Andre Onana, saved Cameron Archer’s penalty.
This crucial save not only lifted the spirits of the visitors but also shifted the momentum of the match in their favor.
United quickly capitalized, with Matthijs de Ligt heading home from a corner just two minutes later, marking his first goal for the club.
Marcus Rashford followed up with a curling strike from outside the box in the 41st minute, ending his six-month goal drought.
Southampton struggled to recover from the double blow.
Despite Aaron Ramsdale’s efforts to keep the scoreline respectable, including several key saves, United dominated after taking the lead.
The home side’s hopes of a comeback faded when captain Jack Stephens was sent off for a reckless challenge on Alejandro Garnacho in the 79th minute.
Garnacho then sealed the win with a third goal in stoppage time.
The result provided much-needed relief for Ten Hag, whose team responded well after back-to-back losses before the international break.
