I guess those substitutions worked. Moments after flicking over the bar from Nani's left-sided cross, Michael Owen has grabbed a vital equaliser for Manchester United, although there's some question as to whether Javier Hernandez committed handball in the buildup. Gabriel Obertan, pushed much wider after the introduction of Ryan Giggs, got to the byline and pinged a cross into the Southampton box. The ball deflected off Hernandez's hand and bobble up for Owen, who did a fine job keeping his header on target. Bartosz Białkowski was well-beaten.
Southampton FC Vs. Manchester United: Michael Owen Gets Equaliser
Southampton would have loved a win, but they’ll definitely take a replay at Old Trafford. They’re not out of this game, either, especially considering how poor United’s back four have been, generating two great chances within minutes of Owen’s goal, both from crosses fizzed through the area. The tie is now totally up for grabs - who’s going to be the one to take it?
