Manchester United vs. Southampton - Football Match Report - February 2, 2021 - ESPN

Manchester United dismantled a shorthanded Southampton side 9-0 at Old Trafford on Tuesday night to go level on points with Man City at the top of the Premier League.

The visitors were forced to play almost the entire game with 10 men after Southampton's Alexandre Jankewitz -- making his first Premier League start -- was shown a straight red card for a studs-up challenge on Scott McTominay just 82 seconds into the match.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka put Man United in front shortly past the quarter-hour, racing on to a Luke Shaw cross and meeting it at the back post to poke home for an early lead.
