Romelu Lukaku and Ander Herrera's goals snatched slapdash Manchester United a 2-2 Premier League draw at Southampton.

Marcus Rashford set up two goals in six minutes, to make amends for conceding the free-kick that let Southampton take a 2-0 lead.

Adam Armstrong drilled his third goal in two games to give Saints a surprise lead, before Cedric Soares curled home a stunning free-kick.

England forward Rashford upended Mario Lemina for the foul that let Cedric double Saints' lead - only to roll up his sleeves and drag United back level with two assists. Re-live the action below
