Premier League 2 | 22 August 2016 | St Mary's | Scorers: Sims 56, Stephens 62
Goals within six second-half minutes by Josh Sims and Jack Stephens earned Southampton a 2-0 victory over Manchester United in the Reds' opening away game of the new Premier League 2 season.
On a sunny evening on the South Coast, the hosts were quick out of the blocks and attacked with real intent in the opening minutes. Danger man Olufela Olomola had a shot pushed away by Dean Henderson at his near post after Joe Riley's stray pass conceded possession but United weathered the early storm.
