Southampton's hopes of winning a first major trophy in 41 years ended in a heartbreaking and controversial 3-2 defeat to Manchester United in Sunday's pulsating EFL Cup final at Wembley.
Saints wrongly had a Manolo Gabbiadini goal ruled out for offside before United took a two-goal lead against the run of play through a Zlatan Ibrahimovic free kick and Jesse Lingard's precise low shot.
In-form Gabbiadini struck either side of half time as Southampton launched a brave comeback, only for Ibrahimovic, 35, to head a cruel winner three minutes from time.
Positives
Most neutrals will acknowledge Southampton were the better team for the majority of this final and United manager Jose Mourinho admitted the least they deserved was to take the game to extra time.
