Was doubling up with Mazraoui to assist nullify the specter of Dibling and counted himself lucky when the Southampton starlet wriggled into the world, solely to be denied by Onana. Helped preserve the depth of the sport excessive late on. Booked.
AMAD DIALLO – 9
A uncommon brilliant spark for United on an evening devoid of a lot creativity till he turned the screw.

BRUNO FERNANDES – 6.5
Had an effort cleared off the road late on this contest after he regarded to dink one over Aaron Ramsdale.

ALEJANDRO GARNACHO- 6
Put a gilt-edged likelihood huge at 0-0 from a Rasmus Hojlund cutback and the sport modified thereafter as Southampton grew in perception.
