Manchester United took their biggest win in 26 years on Tuesday by beating Southampton 9-0, which ended the game with nine players after two exclusions due to a direct red card.
The match was marked by the first minute expulsion of Alexandre Jankewitz, who hit Scott McTominay with a side and was immediately ejected by referee Mike Dean.

With one less player, Southampton remained at the mercy of Manchester United, who were calmly looking for the goal until they found it in the 18th minute in a cross that Wan-Bissaka only finished on the far post.
In just 20 minutes, the game was condemned to United, who extended the lead to 25 with a goal from Marcus Rashford, who was the first to finish a shot from the left. Before half time came 3-0, Jan Bednarek’s own goal after a cross, and 4-0, with a nice header from Edinson Cavani.
In a second half that started much slower and was encouraged, Southampton got a goal disallowed for a millimeter offside and Anthony Martial made fifth with a great volley inside the area and McTominay sixth with a low shot from the corner. Frontal.

To complete the job of Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men, Bednarek was sent off with five minutes to go for a penalty on Martial and Bruno Fernandes joined the group to mark seventh. With nine Southampton players already on the green, Martial scored eighth and Daniel James ninth, scoring United’s biggest Premier League win since 1995, when they also beat Ipswich Town 9-0.
The ‘Red Devils’ keep the second position of the table, level on points with Manchester City, but with two more games. Southampton drops to twelfth place with 29 points.
