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

A comedy of errors results in Lukaku falling over the ball. 5 minutes to go and Southampton look the more likely to score.

4 minutes added time and Man Utd have a free kick on the left of Saints' box. Young puts it in and McCarthy claims it easily.

Honours even at St Marys. Both sides will feel as though they've left points out on the pitch, a rather lacklustre second half put a dampener on the initial proceedings but Southampton will take a point from the game.
