JAKARTA - Manchester United slaughtered Southampton 9-0 in Week 22 of the Premier League at Old Trafford Stadium, Tuesday local time or Wednesday morning WIB.

The red card received by the young talent of Southampton, Alexandre Jankewitz, when the game was not even two minutes old, clearly helped MU throw a goal party against his guest.

The 11-against-10 match just started to be used by MU to open the scoring in the 18th minute when Aaron Wan-Bissaka grabbed Luke Shaw's pass with a first-touch shot against Southampton's goal.

The goal also marked the start of the Red Devils goal feast which then moved away through goals from Marcus Rashford, Edinson Cavani and Jan Bednarek's own goal to lead 4-0 at halftime.

Eight minutes into the second half, Che Adams was able to complete a James Ward-Prowse free-kick to find the home side, but the goal was ruled out by VAR and referee Mike Dean for offside.

The disallowed goal was the next turning point for Southampton as their goal was then scored again by Anthony Martial and Scott McTominay to put United ahead 6-0 in the 71st minute.

Bednarek, who had scored an own goal, made the situation worse for Southampton when he tackled Martial in the penalty box in the 84th minute and the Polish defender was rewarded with a red card and MU was awarded a penalty.

Bruno Fernandes displayed his signature penalty to score United's seventh before Martial and Daniel James deepened Southampton's wound with two more goals in the minutes of injury time.

The victory left United now on 44 points, equaling city rivals Manchester City but stuck in second place on goal difference.

Meanwhile, Southampton (29), who matched their worst losing streak with this result, slipped to 12th in the standings, according to the official Premier League website.

Both teams will return to play on Saturday, 6 February when United host Everton at Old Trafford and Southampton travel to Newcastle United.
