Manchester United vs Southampton
OFF THE POST AT THE OTHER END! How is this game still goalless?! Southampton win a corner, which is worked to Walker-Peters on the edge of the area. He steps inside and lets fly on his left foot, and De Gea is helpless as the shot smashes the left-hand post and flies to safety!

POST! SO CLOSE FOR UNITED! Fernandes lines up a shot from 25 yards, bending it towards the bottom-right corner. Bazunu does brilliantly, diving down to his left to get the slightest touch to the ball, and it bounces off the inside of the upright and away!

The game has not become any less end-to-end since the red card. United escape after a goalmouth scramble at one end before Bednarek ends a promising United break with a strong challenge on Rashford.

You can't help but think the Walcott of a few years ago would have taken that chance. He had so much time and space to decide how to finish it, and he eventually put it far too close to De Gea.

WALCOTT MISSES A HUGE CHANCE! Wow. Southampton break from the United corner and Sulemana sends Walcott through on goal. With Martinez chasing him back, the former Arsenal man takes it onto his left foot and sees his finish pushed wide by De Gea. He should have done better in that position!

Close! McTominay wins possession to set Antony on the break. The Brazilian finds Shaw in space with a good cross-field ball, but his volley is deflected wide for a corner!

Southampton have enjoyed 63 per cent of the possession since the break. They get the ball back again as De Gea lifts a dire kick out of play.
