Super sub Cavani rescues Man Utd

Edison Cavani came off the bench to help Manchester United come back from two goals down to beat Southampton 3-2 at St Mary's Stadium.

The Saints dominated proceedings in the first-half and racked up a two-goal lead by half-time. James Ward-Prowse was well to the fore: setting up Jan Bednarek's opening header before curling a free-kick into the top corner past David de Gea, who got injured attempting to make a save.

At half-time, Dean Henderson came on to replace the injured De Gea, while Cavani came on for Mason Greenwood to completely change the game. 

Firstly, Cavani set up Bruno Fernandes to get United back in it in the 59th minute. Just 14 minutes later, the Portuguese playmaker's attempted shot was headed home by the hurtling Uruguayan to level the scores.

The 33-year-old wasn't finished and headed a 92nd-minute winner from Marcus Rashford's cross to earn all three points.

The victory was Man Utd's eighth successive away league win and lifted them to seventh place on 16 points, one point behind Southampton, who have played a game more.

Attention, ladies and gentlemen:

This is Edinson Cavani. This is what he does.
