Yes, but they no way deserved to be 2-0 up.

More pressure frim Southampton. Only a matter of time when they get the third goal.

United are all at sea now.

If it goes to extra time they'll be shot.

I nearly said ten minutes ago, that Southampton will create all the chances but Man U will win the game.

Thoroughly undeserved win if they get there.

Well that was unexpected.

Typical Zlatan though. He's a game changer.

Utterly undeserved win but Zlatan is a winner, hopefully Jose and him can instil that in the rest of the squad.

Lost it to Zlatan. And the linesman. Although if the referee had sent Stephens off, there would have been no comeback. (I think it's why he then allowed Lingard to stay on the pitch later)

With Virgil and Austin injured, and Forster out of form this season, I couldn't really have asked much more of the team. Nice to finally have a top goalscorer again though - just a shame that the stats will never say that he has a Wembley hattrick.

Gabbiadini may not got the other two, if the first would have been allowed.

I only saw the goals, but it looked like a good game. Forster really should have saved the free-kick.

The Stephens lunge was after he had been cynically tripped by Lingard, and the referee had blown. I thought it was no more than a yellow card, and it only happened because of Lingards actions, who did exactly the same thing again in the second half and should have seen red.

Jose can't moan about the rub of the green or refereeing decisions again this season, because everything went his way yesterday.

Of course, the whole game changes.
