MANCHESTER: Romelu Lukaku struck a dramatic 89th-minute winner as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer´s Manchester United beat Southampton 3-2 at Old Trafford on Saturday to leapfrog Arsenal into fourth place in the Premier League. After a lacklustre first-half display, United were now in an irrepressible mood and took the lead just six minutes later through Lukaku although Pereira was again instrumental in the goal. Twice Gunn was required to save from Lukaku from chances which really should have been converted by the United striker. The procession of wasted opportunities continued for United before the interval although Chris Smalling came close, with a header from a Young corner which flew just wide. Two United goals soon followed, as did a couple of long-range attempts from Dalot, although it was Ward-Prowse´s superb set-piece and Lukaku´s winner that would provide the final words.
