Southampton stunned Manchester United at Old Trafford and ended the home side's 10-match unbeaten run with a 1-0 win.
It saw Ronald Koeman's side climb above Louis van Gaal's into third place in the Premier League table.
After a tepid first half in which both sides failed to have a shot on target, Southampton substitute Dusan Tadic scored the winning goal in the 69th minute to condemn United to defeat and deflate the optimism that had returned to Old Trafford.
Southampton, who snuffed out United with a textbook away display, have 39 points from 21 matches, while United drop to fourth on 37 points.
