Southampton:
Goalkeeper: Artur Boruc (-5)
His heroics helped secure a point but could do nothing for Van Persie’s goal. Boruc made four saves in the game.
Right-Back: Nathaniel Clyne (-1)
Was caught up the field for the goal but put in a decent performance otherwise. He won all his tackles and as the Heat Map shows, he put in a great shift against Man United.
Left-Back: Luke Shaw (-1)
Tried to provide the width going forward but a toothless Southampton attack meant that his efforts were in vain. He did complete two of his five take-ons.
Trending
Centre-Back: Jose Fonte (-2)
He was all at sea as he lost Rooney for the first goal, not a good performance from the centre-back. But to his credit, he won all three of his aerial duels today.
Centre-Back: Dejan Lovren (33)
Performed manfully and was one of Southampton’s standout performers, he played his role as Southampton got a much deserved goal.
Centre-Midfield: Steven Davis (6)
Maintained possession well in midfield with a 87% pass completion rate.
Centre-Midfield: Morgan Schneiderlin (24)
Another assured performance from the midfielder as he held the Saints midfield together. He won four of his six tackles.
Victor Wanyama (-5)
The midfield battler won all two of his tackles and did well with Schneiderlin.
Attacking Midfield: Adam Lallana (78)
Squawka’s man of the match and Southampton’s creative force, all of their best plays were channelled through Lallana. He created five chances, more than any player for either side.
Striker: Jay Rodriguez (-22)
Did very little throughout and was replace by Lambert on the hour mark. He had two attempts, with one attempt on target.
Striker: Pablo Osvaldo (-14)
Proved a handful for United defenders but he never really threatened the goal.
Subs:
Ricky Lambert (-6)
On for the ineffectual Jay Rodriguez, he provided a different threat to the United defence. He also made two key passes.
James Ward-Prowse (38)
Replacing Steven Davis, the youngster added energy and guile going forward in the final stages. He completed 84% of his passes and made two key passes.
Guly do Prado (-2)
A last throw of the dice by Mauricio Pochettino, the Brazilian failed to make an impact in the dying stages of the match.
