The Red Devils were back to winning ways on Saturday, though they struggled in the early phases of the match against St. Mary’s.

The three points were sealed late on when Jack Stephens was sent off for a foul on Alejandro Garnacho, with the forward going onto find the back of the net in injury time.
The result means Southampton have opened the season with four consecutive defeats while this was also the club’s 400th loss in the Premier League.
Unfortunately for Russell Martin’s side, they’ve achieved this milestone in record time, taking just 928 games to do so, surpassing West Ham who took 976 matches.
The other three clubs to have reached the 400 defeats milestone are Aston Villa (who took 1072 games), Newcastle (1090) and Everton (1128).
