Great to get the win, points are close now to the teams above us, keep this win going could we get 10th?

As for Che, good to see him finally score, love the vid of the goal from behind. What's his work rate like round the park? He's got a few more years left on his contract so surely keep him for another season and see how he does?

Very proud to be a Saints fan today! And its not often I've been able to say that the last couple of years!

There were a couple of frustrating moments where a through ball would have seen Ings one on one and instead we opted to go back, but I can't let that takeaway from what was an absolutely immense team performance! I would say a pleasure to watch but the second half really wasn't!

Jack Stephens!

I lost my wager but very happy to do so.

As said, some odd passing decisions but it's three points in the bag.

And the most people to ever watch a premier league match saw Saints taste victory

Not a bad few days to be a Saints fan... beating Man City then Pompey losing in the play-offs

[CharlieH89]

Well played. Well deserved point taking the game to Man Utd.
I was surprised to see Romeu go off but his replacement goes and scores!

If we could just sort our home form out we'd definitely be looking at European football qualification next year.

Great point and well deserved !!!!

[The jiffle king]

Since the re-start we've played well and with freedom. Been great to see the lads really go after some of the richer teams and last night I thought we were very good value for our point.
Armstrong has been playing out of his skin recently and we seem to have a bit more stability at the back with Stephens stepping up a level. Lets hope that they can keep it together for the remaining 3 matches and keep the key players in the summer

Its whether clubs really have the same money that they have had in prior years to tempt them away? And who do we have who is coveted? Ings? seen as injury prone, Redmond - seen as inconsistent, JWP - I think his heart is at the club, Armstrong? playing well now but lacks consistency

[tobinen]

I was a bit on edge as I didn't think the equaliser would come, but glad it did. A few sloppy passes grated. Another wager happily lost.

Jolly good display from you chaps at Old Trafford.

Full of vim & vigor.

Spunk & gumption.

Thank you, although a certain amount of luck, I believe, that has unfortunately gone against us in previous matches over the years!

Four points from Manchesters' finest in recent days, I'll take that every season.

Next up, Brighton and Bournemouth. Six more points up for grabs and a possible top ten finish?

Stranger things have happened!

[Legacywr]

That Walker-Peters looks promising.

[Legacywr]

Good result, dreadful penalty! Ha

[TyrannosauRoss Lex]

I didn't watch it, but kept a check on the live reporting. Saw it went 1-1 at 94mins and thkufhr "typical Saints!" but then it was disallowed and we scored shortly after!

[sb-1]

Come on you Reds!Going really well this season.

[tobinen]

Rubbish first half but three points on the last day plus Everton lost means P11.

And Ings one goal short of Vardy for the golden boot.

[Fluid]

Adams has definitely come out of his shell.

Onwards to next season, if we can keep up the form we have shown since the restart, Who knows what might happen.
