That point at Newcastle might just come back to save Dean Smith’s @LCFC today. But they’ll need all three points against West Ham, and a favour from Bournemouth.

Sam Allardyce’s @LUFC need to beat a flagging Spurs team – and for results elsewhere to go their way – if they are to remain a Premier League club. A huge ask for Leeds.

Cavani rescues United

Edinson Cavani inspired a second-half comeback as Man United came back from 2-0 down to beat Southampton at St Marys.

The Uruguayan striker came off the bench at half time to score twice and assist another as United won their eighth consecutive away match in the Premier League โ€“ breaking a club record.


The match

United missed chances in the first half and were punished as Southampton scored twice from set-pieces. James Ward-Prowse set up a Jan Bednarek header from a corner in the 23rd minute and he scored a pinpoint free-kick ten minutes later.

The 33-year-old crossed for Bruno Fernandes to score his seventh league goal of the season just before the hour-mark. Cavani then scored with a diving header past Alex McCarthy when he diverted Fernandesโ€™s shot into the net.

The winner came in stoppage time. The former PSG and Napoli striker stooped low to head in from Marcus Rashfordโ€™s cross.


Stats

United have moved up to seventh in the table with a win and are five points off the top of the table with a game in hand. The win means they become the first side in Premier League history to win four consecutive away games despite trailing in each of them.

The Reds have come from behind to beat Southampton for the 10th time in the Premier League.

Southampton stay fifth on 17 points. Jan Bednarek has scored three times for Southampton and on all three occasions, his side have lost 3-2 at St Maryโ€™s.
