Play by play
- 94'
<b>FULL TIME</b> It was hairy for a time but in the end United's class shone through. Southampton can be proud of their efforts, especially in the first half, but they just ran out of energy in the second and the introduction of Nani and Giggs made a big difference.
- 93'
Southampton's brave effort is all but over. Their collective legs have gone.
- 92'

- 90'
Four minutes added...
- 88'
Scholes nearly profits from a sloppy Saints clearance but his block tackle rolls back to Bialkowski.
- 86'
Southampton can't get hold of the ball at the moment. And even when they do, they can't get anywhere near the final third.
- 84'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Chaplow departs on a poor note and Oscar Gobern is on.
- 83'
A great opening for Saints but Chaplow opts to shoot when he had two team-mates well placed. It dribbles wide and now he's off.
- 82'
Obertan draws a nudge from Harding and wins a free kick wide right.
- 80'
Nani has acres of space to run into but his touch is a little heavy and Rocha Fonte challenges him.
- 79'
A little wobble from Lindegaard but his defence tidies up.
- 78'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Dany N'Guessan is on for Saints and Do Prado is off.
- 76'
Saints hit back and win a corner. They must have known it was coming.
- 75'
A slide rule pass evades Rocha Fonte and even though Hernandez is off balance, he still manages to clip the ball into the net off the post.
- 75'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Hernandez strokes it home!
- 74'
Oxlade-Chamberlain picks the ball up deep and runs 20 yards before firing a shot wide of the target.
- 74'
Wes Brown's deep cross finds Nani but his volley is gathered well by Bialkowski.
- 73'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Change for Saints, Ryan Dickson comes on in place of Barnard.
- 72'
Do Prado has the makings of a good footballer but his decision making needs work.
- 70'
A well worked corner routine as Chamberlain comes short, flicks back to Harding who crosses low and flashes right across the face of goal and just past the post. So close.
- 69'
Do Prado feeds Chaplow and his cross misses everyone. Then Chamberlain wins a corner.
- 67'
Nani cuts inside and flicks to Scholes who tries a curler but Butterfield blocks.
- 66'
Saints had dropped deeper and deeper in the last ten minutes and paid the price. United favourites now, surely.
- 65'
Obertan flashes in a cross that deflects off a Saints' defender, into the turf and up onto the forehead of Owen who finds the corner.
- 65'
