MU, despite being 2-0 up ahead, but superbly outscored Southampton 3-2, looking back on the highlights of the Southampton vs MU round 10 Premier League 2020/21 match.
James Ward-Prowse couldn’t help Southampton to score points
In the Southampton vs MU match, midfielder James Ward-Prowse is the home team’s best player. The British star is the one who takes the corner for Jan Bednarek to lead the score. According to statistics, 6 of the last 7 assists of a player born in 1994 come from fixed situations, including 3 times from the corner and 3 times from the free kick.

James Ward-Prowse couldn’t help Southampton score points against MU |
After helping Jan Bednarek open the scoring, James Ward-Prowse directly raised the score to 2-0 for Southampton. Fred fouled a home team player just before the MU penalty area, at a distance of about 20 meters, James Ward-Prowse took a dangerous kick that sent David de Gea flying to the end but could not save.
Among England players, only David Beckham (18) has scored more Premier League free throw goals than James Ward-Prowse (9, equal to Frank Lampard and Jamie Redknapp).
In the last 5 times a player has created and scored from fatal situations in the Premier League, 3 times it has belonged to James Ward-Prowse (vs West Brom in 2017/18 and Aston Villa season 202/21). I only regret that the impressive performance of the midfielder was unable to help Southampton to score against MU.
David de Gea injury
MU suffered heavy defeats after the match with Southampton, in which goalkeeper David de Gea was injured. The 1990-born star had a problem after a James Ward-Prowse free kick. On the run, De Gea’s knee hit the post. The Spaniard then tried to continue playing.

However, the 30-year-old star also only tried to play the entire first part and at the beginning of the second, he had to give way to Dean Henderson. The knees are always very difficult and the Red Devils are worried that he will have to take time off.
In the future, MU will experience a dense schedule. If De Gea cannot be present, it will be a huge loss for Red Man. Since the start of the season this year, the Spaniard has played fairly consistently, competitive pressure from Dean Henderson forcing him to try harder.
Bruno Fernandes and Edinson Cavani help MU incredibly upriver
When MU was 2-0 by the opponent, coach Solskjaer decided to make a change. Mason Greenwood left the field to give up the position to Edinson Cavani, the Norwegian professor’s decision had maximum repercussion. Cavani, after entering the field, played very energetic, blew a new wind in the ball phase of the visitors.

In the 59th minute Fred stole the ball before passing Cavani, the Uruguayan star assisting Bruno Fernandes to shoot at point-blank range to defeat Alex McCarthy, helping MU cut the score to 1-2. According to statistics, Bruno Fernandes is the fourth MU player to score in 5 consecutive away games in the Premier League after Ruud van Nistelrooy (2002 and 2003), Robin van Persie (2013) and Zlatan Ibrahimovic (2017).
In the 74th minute, from a corner, the ball reached Bruno Fernandes. He made a very tight shot, the ball hitting a Southampton player inadvertently turned into an assist for Cavani to blow his head off close range, bringing MU a 2-2 draw.
Edinson Cavani is only the second player to score and assist after making a Premier League substitution for MU, following Ruud van Nistelrooy against Charlton in September 2002.

Putting Cavani on the field is coach Solskjaer’s right decision |
In the final minutes of the match, Rashford made a graceful cross for Cavani to blow his head with precision to lead the visitors to a 3-2 victory. Edinson Cavani is only the second MU player to directly participate in at least 3 goals when coming off the bench in a Premier League match (2 goals, 1 assists), after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (scored 4 goals against Nottingham Forest in February 1999).
Cavani is off to a good start in the MU jersey, contributing 3 goals and 1 assists after 257 minutes of play, averaging 65 minutes participating in one goal.
MU came back strong in the Premier League championship race
There have been times when MU has caused a huge disappointment this season. The Reds experienced a series of four consecutive unsuccessful games at Old Trafford in the Premier League, including 3 losses to Crystal Palace (1-3), Tottenham (1-6) and Arsenal (0-1). The only point they have at home is the 0-0 draw against Chelsea.

MU climbed to seventh place in the Premier League table |
The poor results pushed MU down in the second half of the standings. Many people have eliminated the Red Devils from the championship list. When the confidence of the fans is very low, Solskjaer’s teachers and students come back strong. MU marked the resurgence with a 3-1 win at Everton, then beat West Brom 1-0 at home.
The latter is a 3-2 classic against Southampton. 3 consecutive victories helped MU climb to seventh place in the rankings. The Old Trafford team has 16 points, 5 points behind Liverpool’s first place. If MU beats Burnley in a comp match in round 1, Red Man would close the gap to The Kop’s leading position to 2 points. Then the opportunity to run the championship was opened up again with coach Solskjaer’s team.
