Southampton 0-3 Manchester United – The Saints battled hard during the first 30 minutes of the game, with their fans soaking up the sunshine and enjoying what seemed like a promising afternoon.
Southampton played some impressive football, putting Manchester United under real pressure. At one point, it looked like they were on the brink of taking the lead after earning a penalty midway through the first half. The atmosphere was electric, and it felt like this could be their moment.
However, Cameron Archer’s penalty kick fell short, as it was saved by Manchester United’s André Onana. This miss became a turning point in the match. Shortly after, Manchester United struck with two quick goals in succession, essentially putting the game beyond Southampton’s reach.
