Bruno Fernandes celebrate his goal

Bruno Fernandes scored the only goal as Manchester United beat Southampton 0-1 away from home to record their second consecutive win in the premier league.

United had beaten Liverpool 2-1 last week to end their poor runs in the season after losing their first two games.

After a goalless first half, United sprang to life as Fernandes struck on 55 minutes to score the only goal of the match.

The midfielder showed good awareness inside the box as he latched on to a brilliant pass and fired a first-time shot into the bottom left corner after an assist from Diogo Dalot.

Earlier, Fernandes failed to score from a rebound in the first half as the goalkeeper stopped his effort from hitting the net.
