Shortly after, Romelu Lukaku got on the scoresheet after finding the bottom corner to make it 2-1 to United.

Lukaku again found the net to put Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side 3-2 up and Pogba could have made it 4-2 with a penalty in stoppage time, but was saved by Angus Gunn.
The result meant Manchester United stayed 4th, now just three points behind Tottenham in third after they drew their derby with Arsenal earlier today.
Southampton remain outside the drop, just two points clear of Cardiff who occupy the first spot, ten away from Fulham in 23rd and thirteen from rock bottom Huddersfield.
