Zlatan made all the difference. It was a stunning free kick.
The way he used all of his experience - not just in his two goals but everywhere on the pitch, he deserves that Man of the Match trophy.

They signed him on a free, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been a priceless acquisition for Manchester United.
26 goals for the season now, including two in the EFL Cup final against Southampton.
It is the 19th major trophy of his illustrious career and first for United.
"This is what I came for, I came to win," he tells Sky Sports.
Big game player.

SUBSTITUTION
Man Utd 3-2 Southampton
Wayne Rooney was getting ready to come on, his tracksuit was off and he celebrated the goal wildly but he won't be making his entrance anymore.
On comes Marouane Fellaini instead, replacing Anthony Martial.
Southampton have to go for it and send on striker Jay Rodriguez for Steven Davies.
One minute left.

Oh so close for Southampton.
Ryan Bertrand puts a brilliant ball into the area, not for the first time, but Shane Long cannot prod it home.
