🚨🏴 GOAL | Southampton 0-1 Manchester United | De Ligt DE LIGT OPENS THE SCORING FOR MANCHESTER UNITED !!!!
Manchester United have taken the lead against Southampton with a powerful header from Matthijs de Ligt! The Dutch defender rose high above the Southampton defense to connect with a well-delivered corner, sending the ball into the back of the net.
In the 25th minute, United earned a corner after sustained pressure on Southampton’s backline. Bruno Fernandes stepped up to take the corner, whipping in a perfect cross that found De Ligt at the far post. The Dutchman showed his strength and timing, beating his marker in the air and directing the ball past the Southampton goalkeeper, leaving the home fans stunned.
This marks De Ligt’s first goal for the club since his summer move, and it couldn’t have come at a better time as United look to bounce back from a shaky start to the season. With his solid defensive performance so far and now a crucial goal, De Ligt is proving to be a key asset for Erik ten Hag’s side.
Manchester United now have the momentum as they continue to dominate possession and press for a second goal, while Southampton will need to regroup quickly if they are to get back into the game. Stay tuned for more updates from this exciting Premier League clash!
