Man Utd 2 Southampton 1...!!

Little Pea skors the winner...
Manchester United staged yet another second-half fightback to avoid crashing out of the FA Cup to League One opponents for the second successive season.

Southampton threatened to repeat their famous 1976 Wembley win over United when Richard Chaplow gave them a deserved half-time lead against the much-changed Barclays Premier League leaders.But, as in Tuesday night's dramatic comeback at Blackpool, the introduction of the veteran Ryan Giggs helped change the game, with goals from Michael Owen and Javier Hernandez putting the visitors into the last 16.
Having admitted making a mistake by fielding a weakened side in last season's shock third-round home defeat to Leeds, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson had gone strong against Liverpool earlier this month.
But he appeared to forget the lessons of the Leeds loss in picking his team today.
Buoyed by not having to face the likes of Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov and facing a makeshift defence and rookie goalkeeper, Southampton sensed an upset from the off.
The former Premier League stalwarts were almost given even greater cause for optimism in the eighth minute when the ball deflected through to Dan Harding, who coolly clipped home.
Unfortunately for him, the assistant referee's flag was already up.
But that did not deter the League One high-fliers, who almost profited from slack United defending when Rickie Lambert curled too close to debutant keeper Anders Lindegaard.(cont..)

Kali ninlambat sikit aku update skor  game Man utd pagi semalam coz quite busy semalam. Game abis kul 3 pagi (aku tgk game kat MV di Shah Alam) and balik umah jer terus tidoq coz keletihan!! Then bangun tidoq jer dah kena siap2 gi kenduri kawin jiran and pastu leapk kat umah mak aku...balik jer dari sana ada meeting lak dgn persatuan MUFC..kelab yg aku join kat FB then pastu balik umah anak aku meragam sampai la aku tertidor dalam bilik anak aku tu...ekekeke!! Ok la,cut the crap..game pagi semalam memang aku dah jangka Man Utd akan menang cuma tak sangka Sir Alex akan buat banyak sgt pertukaran dgn formasi yg jarang sekali dia gunakan!! So 1st half memang nampak tak menjadi langsung corak permainan Man Utd sampai bole ketinggalan 1-0 pada penghujung separuh masa pertama!! Masuk 2nd half jer..mcm biasa Man Utd mula mengawal permainan bila Sir Alex masukkan Nani and Giggsy..hasilnya Man Utd berjaya menyamakan kedudukan hasil jaringan Micheal Owen and jaringan kemenangan lak adalah hasil gerakan licik si Chicharito!! And United are thru to 5th round of FA Cup and mengelakan dari tersingkir awal macam season lepas..yeehhaaa!! Apapun..treble season in the making stil boleh tercapai...GGMU!!
