Manchester United have triumphed for the second time this season, beating Southampton in the Premier League.
The result comes as the Red Devils' first away victory in seven, with Erik ten Hag's men climbing the table they sat 20th on this time a week ago.
The victory came as courtesy of Bruno Fernandes, who scored the only goal in the fixture - a lovely finish into the bottom left hand corner.

Diogo Dalot played a vital part in the goal, whipping in a lovely cross to create the opportunity.
Speaking to BT Sport after the victory, Bruno Fernandes said: "This is the Premier League, every game is tough. It was a massive three points for us, we have to carry on this spirit for the rest of this season.
"This is what this club demands.

"After Liverpool everyone could feel it. We set the standard so we have to carry on now and if we can, improve it."
Fernandes' goal is his first of the season, and has helped prove that Manchester United are getting better under Erik ten Hag after two pretty poor performances against Brighton and Brentford.
Speaking on the goal, Fernandes explained: "It was a great ball [from Dalot], even great play from behind. Everything was perfect.

"Someone runs, someone gets the space behind. We did it well, so well done to everyone, not just me."
Speaking on the goal himself, Erik ten Hag told BT Sport: "Not only from Bruno, don’t get me wrong it was a fantastic finish, but I think it was the best part of us. That is how I want us to play."
When questioned on Manchester United's remaining transfer business, he commented: "I cannot say that. If there are players available then we will strike.
"We will be alert until the last second of the window."

One signing who made his debut today was the new purchase from Real Madrid, Casemiro.
He started the fixture on the bench, however came on to play for the final minutes and showed fans how he can justify his £60 million transfer fee.
He got stuck right into the game, putting in some heavy challenges and helping United see out a marginal, single goal lead.

Scott McTominay played an overall positive performance, however many would expect Casemiro to start in the side's next fixture against Leicester City on Thursday.
