Marcus Rashford breaks goal drought as Man United secures 3-0 Premier League victory against Southampton

Alejandro Garnacho scored a crucial late goal for Erik ten Hag’s team, who started the day in 14th place after suffering two consecutive losses. With this victory, they now have six points from four matches, while newly promoted Southampton are still searching for their first point of the season.

Southampton dominated early on but squandered a chance to take the lead in the 34th minute after United goalkeeper Andre Onana saved Cameron Archer’s poor penalty, sparking an immediate shift in momentum at St Mary’s Stadium.

A minute later, de Ligt headed in a sumptuous ball from Bruno Fernandes. Rashford, who had gone 13 games without a goal, then ended his drought with a diagonal shot from outside the 18-yard-box to the far corner in the 45th. The hosts were reduced to 10 men in the 79th minute when defender Jack Stephens was sent off for a high tackle on Garnacho.
