Man United record 9 goals cruise past nine-man Southampton

Premier League 2020-21: Manchester United made PL record by nine goals past nine-man Southampton - Saints twice have lost 9-0.



The red card for Saints Alexandre Jankewitz just two minutes ultimately causes a full disaster for the visitors, who had been at the end of the without any score against Leicester City back in October 2019.


It's just the third time that the team has lost 9-0 in the Premier League, with United previously losing Ipswich Town by that margin in 1995.


Aaron Wan-Bissaka found the net with his first goal in Old Trafford. Marcus Rashford and Edinson Cavani both entered the net on either side of Jan Bednarek's own goal before the break.


Anthony Martial ended the eight-game scoring drought before Scott McTominay rode home from the edge of the area.

It was a dramatic finish as United almost matched their club record 10-0 win over Anderlecht in 1956.
