Minute-by-minute report: Can Erik ten Hag’s men continue their revival with a second straight win? Join Scott Murray
Tell you what, McTominay is a lucky chappie. A high ball clanked off Adams and onto his left forearm, which was extended horizontally. Proximity has probably saved him; the two players were right next to each other. You can probably make a case both ways, if you’re so inclined.The VAR check is complete, and Saints aren’t getting their penalty. With Saints still pressing, we haven’t seen a rerun yet.Dalot’s poor pass out from the back leads to a Saints throw, deep in United territory on the left.
A good response by Saints, as Ward-Prowse snaffles possession in the centre circle, then sends Djenepo off down the left. He lays off for Armstrong, who wins a corner. Ward-Prowse’s delivery is half cleared by McTominay. Ward-Prowse tries again, and Adams hooks high over the bar.That was one heck of a finish. The combination between Dalot and Fernandes had a vague whiff of Beckham-Scholes about it.
