Manchester United won the EFL Cup at Wembley thanks to Zlatan Ibrahimovic's late header.

The Swede delivered on the kind of big stage he was brought in to perform on as he scored United's first and third in a 3-2 thriller that saw Southampton fight from 2-0 down to level.

Manolo Gabbiadini can count himself unfortunate to end on the losing side after his brace hauled the Saints back into it.
