Matthijs de Ligt, Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho scored the goals that won us the day on the south coast, while Andre Onana saved a first-half penalty.
It was the first goal scored in United colours by De Ligt – winner of our Man of the Match poll – and he was praised by his team-mates in the aftermath.
“Great fight from the team today and a deserved three points, Carabao Cup next,” De Ligt wrote on Instagram, with Kobbie Mainoo, Amad and Lisandro Martinez among those to leave complimentary comments.
“Many more to come,” added captain Bruno Fernandes, posting on his Instagram story, referencing the Dutchman’s first goal for the club.
