In EPL’s history, there have only been 3 9-0 matches, including this one. Of these, Manchester United became the second major winner after the 1995 Ipswich Town match (9-0 win).

Manchester United, who struck down Southampton with one lesser, took the lead with a goal from Aaron Wan Visakha in the 18th minute. In the 25th minute of the first half, Marcus Rashford scored an additional goal and escaped by two goals.
I was lucky with Manchester United. In the 34th minute of the first half, Southampton defender Jan Bednarek struck an own goal to clear Rashford’s cross. Manchester United, who raised momentum, virtually confirmed the victory with Edison Cavani’s goal in the 39th minute of the first half. But it wasn’t the end.
At the start of the second half, Manchester United put in Anthony Marshall and Donnie Van the Big, excluding Cavani and Luke Shaw. Marshall scored with the help of Bruno Fernandence in the 24th minute of the second half, and two minutes later, McTomini’s goal was reached, and Manchester United widened the score to 6-0.
Southampton was sent off in the 41st minute when Deadnarek fouled Marshall in the 41st minute, leaving 9 people to play. In a penalty kick after a foul by Bednarek, Fernandes came out as the kicker, finished calmly, and ran away by seven goals.
Manchester United’s attack continued, and Marshall in the second half and Daniel James in extra time in the second half scored a streak, ending with 9 goals.
Fernandes, who added 1 goal and 2 assists on this day, scored 12 goals and 9 assists at the EPL this season, putting a double-digit goal-help in front of him.
