Play by play
- 90'
And a brilliant point for Norwich at Anfield thanks to defender Russell Martin's cool finish -- more, though, for Brendan Rodgers to ponder. The pressure on him is increasing. Danny Ings had put Liverpool in front with his first goal for the club, but they couldn't hold on to their advantage.
- 90'
So, Manchester United are up to second -- they made life hard for themselves in the closing moments, but these three points put them only two points behind their neighbours Manchester City at the top.

<b>FULL-TIME: SOUTHAMPTON 2-3 MANCHESTER UNITED</b>
- 90'
United head clear from a free-kick -- can they break?
- 90'
Saints want a free-kick deep in the United half. They don't get one.
- 90'
Wanyama fires in a shot, and the keeper pushes it away. From the follow-up a cross comes in and Wanyama heads -- but De Gea clutches.
- 90'
<b>GOOD SAVE DE GEA</b>
- 90'
In goes a cross towards Tadic, who heads for goal -- but heads wide.
- 90'
But the visitors make a mess of that corner, and Southampton come to the other end...
- 90'
And he wins a corner. Five added minutes, says the referee.
- 89'
McNair leads a charge forward for United...
- 88'
Southampton get in each other's way -- Davies wanted to shoot but Long took the ball away to cross it. Suddenly, it's jittery for United.
- 88'
Then Wanyama is brought down, and this is a free-kick in a good crossing position...
- 87'
Suddenly it's United looking ragged in possession. Mane and Long link on the right.
- 85'
Can the home side find a way back to parity? Even the prospect of them getting one back seemed very unlikely not that long ago...
- 84'
That's out of nothing as well -- in comes a Southampton cross, and Pelle thumps in an excellent header to give Saints some unexpected hope.
- 84'

- 84'
Ward-Prowse fires a cross in -- De Gea's punch is less convincing than much of his previous work, but there's no harm done as the United defenders clear their lines.
- 83'
Van Dijk will, indeed, head for the touchline. Heading for the final five minutes on the south coast.
- 82'
Van Dijk is down with cramp, and Martial is the man helping him out. Doubt the Saints man will be able to continue...
- 81'
United have had more than 60 percent of possession in this half.
- 80'
A Pelle backheel goes out of play. The visiting fans are the only ones you can hear at St Mary's now. United are going second, barring an incredibly unlikely collapse.
- 80'
Rooney looks for Depay, but the flag is up against him.
- 79'
Depay takes the free-kick, and bends it over the top. Heading towards the last ten minutes on the south coast.
