Southampton FC Vs. Manchester United: Javier Hernandez Puts United Ahead

The stormtrooper lurking behind the Southampton net will be happy - Manchester United are now 2-1 up over their hosts. They have Javier Hernandez to thank, the young Mexican striker somehow sliding the ball beautifully into the far corner past Bartosz Białkowski despite falling down in the process. Just why he was falling down is an interesting question, as he was one on one against the Southampton keeper with zero defenders in his vicinity, but it's a goal despite Hernandez's unorthadox technique.

Ryan Giggs was the provider, though, threading in an inch-perfect pass that left Southampton's defence totally at sea after an awful defensive error gifted the veteran with the ball just outside the area. United have looked a totally different side since Giggs and Nani have made their appearances twenty minutes ago, and are now full value for their lead. Southampton probably don't deserve to be losing the match, however, and they're still making the occasional threat at Anders Lindegaard's goal. If they're going to get something out of this match, though they'll have to do it in the next ten minutes.
