Man Utd 0-1 Southampton: When did United last fail to hit the target at home?

Southampton moved third in the Premier League after battling to their first ever Premier League victory away to Manchester United.

The Hampshire side started with more purpose, with Nathaniel Clyne firing across goal in the first minute, with David de Gea seemingly beaten. The visitors were then gradually forced back, and faced spells camped deep in their own half - however the defended resolutely (making 32 clearances), leaving United largely frustrated.

The pattern continued into the second half, until Ronald Koeman's side leapfrogged the Red Devils thanks to Dusan Tadic's second half strike. The Serb reacted quickest when Graziano Pelle's shot struck a post, calmly slotting home with Chris Smalling and Tyler Blackett unable to clear.

United's best chances to level fell to Juan Mata, but the Spaniard twice failed to hit the target from close range as time ebbed away for the hosts.
