1996: Southampton 6-3 Manchester United

Southampton shocked 10-man Manchester United as they beat them 6-3 at The Dell. 

Eyal Berkovic kicked off proceedings with an early goal to give Southampton the lead before Roy Keane was dismissed.

Matt Le Tissier doubled their advantage but David Beckham pulled one back before Egil Ostenstad restored Saints’ two goal lead. 

David May scored for United to bring the scores to 3-2, but Berkovic’s second of the afternoon was followed by goals from Ostenstad and a Phil Neville own goal to seal the three points despite a late Paul Scholes consolation goal. 

The result left United in fifth on 19 points while Southampton moved up to 15th with 12 points.
