Southampton is suffering after losing his past three matches and suffering a bunch of injuries. Theo Walcott, Brahima Diallo and Oriole Romeo all sustained injuries at Villa Park the last time, but the Saints played well and Ralph Hessenhotel felt his team had no luck coming out empty-handed.

Southampton responded well after their recent 9-0 defeat at the hands of Leicester last season, so they can at least call in the experience to recover from this. There were mitigating factors: Youngster Jankvitz was sent off within two minutes, and Bednarik also saw the red, conceding a 6–0 penalty. The second was controversial, leaving visitors with nine men. He also canceled the goal of Che Adams due to another marginal offside.

Armstrong is reserved, either for complaining or for spending extended time restarting. Southampton certainly wasn’t green as to the arbitration decisions here.

Manchester United 6-0 Southampton (87 ‘)
Red card! The penalty stands and Bidnarik is sent off. He can’t believe it, given that all he did was inadvertently cleaned Martial’s leg, but Southampton dropped to nine men in the last few minutes.

Bednarik barely touches Martial, after all. Mike Dean moves to the screen …
