Jose lands his first piece of silverware at
Manchester United as Zlatan strikes late to break Southampton hearts after
Gabbiadini's double had hauled underdogs level in thriller at Wembley
Southampton had the better team, Manchester United the
better player. The player, in fact. Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The one, the only. This
was his cup, as much as theirs. It was a great game and Southampton had the
best of it. Yet they were never in front and there was always the danger it
would end in tears. Why? That man. There was never a significant period of the
game in which United dominated, but nor was there a moment when Ibrahimovic did
not look capable of being the deciding factor. What a player he is. For all his
achievements across Europe, it has taken this, a season in the twilight of his
career, to convince the sceptics here of his greatness.
Manchester United left it late as they beat
Southampton 3-2 in the EFL Cup final at Wembley on Sunday. Jesse Lingard netted
in-between a Zlatan Ibrahimovic double as Manolo Gabbiadini's brace was left in
vain. Don't worry if you missed anything during the showpiece, because
Sportsmail's eagle-eyed team made sure those all-important finer details were
preserved for posterity.
