00:00Southampton in the Premiership in late September 1999
00:03United were on an incredible run undefeated in 28 league games
00:08but they had drawn their last home match with Wimbledon
00:11Southampton under Dave Jones were sitting in 13th place in the league
00:15and in their last outing had secured an extra-time win over Manchester City in the League Cup
00:20United's experienced defender Dennis Irwin played at right-back
00:24to accommodate new signing Mikel Silvestre at left-back
00:28Sir Alex Ferguson had several of his top players missing
00:31Roy Keane, Ryan Giggs, Ronnie Johnson, Jesper Blomqvist and Gary Neville were all out injured
00:36and Andy Cole was suspended
00:38Nicky Butt was back from injury
00:40while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was preferred to Jordi Cruyff on the left of midfield
00:44Former United favourite Mark Hughes was back to face his old club in Southampton colours
00:49The visitors were able to include Hasan Kashlul, Klaus Lundekvam and Dean Richards
00:54who'd all shaken off knocks and been passed fit to play
00:56Latvian striker Marijan Pahars had recovered from a virus and operated as a lone striker
01:01while Stuart Ripley was back after missing three games
01:05Your match commentator is John Champion
01:08On the face of it, it's something of a mismatch
01:10Manchester United, the leaders, unbeaten in 28 Premier League matches now
01:17Their last defeat in this competition
01:193-2 here against Middlesbrough back on the 19th of December last year
01:25Southampton with nine points from their seven fixtures so far
01:30Three wins at Coventry on the opening day
01:34which was the first time they'd won on the first day of a season in 11 years
01:38and 4-2 against Newcastle, 2-0 against Sheffield Wednesday
01:42but it's a mighty task taking on Manchester United in their own backyard
01:46on current form
01:56FANS SHOUT OUT
02:01Here's Sheringham
02:04peeling away his skulls
02:10and York!
02:17Southampton have been told by their management team, led by Dave Jones
02:22to expect to be under the cosh
02:25It's a question of how they deal with it
02:37Oakley
02:43and Oakley sent flying
02:46by Henning Berg
02:56First caution of the afternoon issued by referee Dunne
03:02from Bristol
03:04to Henning Berg
03:13Stuart Ripley is over the ball for this
03:20Taibbi got a touch
03:26Third game in goal for Manchester United
03:28for Massimo Taibbi
03:32I hope they've found the long-term replacement for Peter Schmeichel
03:47Ripley
03:56free kick is Southampton's
03:58Solskjaer the player penalised
04:00the fouling Jason Dodd
04:04Dodd's been one of the bargain signings in Southampton's history
04:08£50,000 from Bath City
04:22Berg's header
04:23finding Beckham
04:27Here's York
04:35That's Solskjaer
04:39Beckham is none too happy
04:47Anger directed at Solskjaer for having a go himself
04:50when others were better placed
04:54Manchester United
04:59Manchester United won their first three games here this season
05:02scoring 11 goals
05:04They got a nasty shock last Saturday
05:06when Wimbledon held them 1-1
05:08it was a late goal
05:10from Jordi Cruyff to rescue a point
05:17Marc Hughes
05:19so long a favourite here
05:23Pahars through the legs of Stam
05:25and Pahars scores
05:32Echoes of last week when Walid Badir put Wimbledon in front here
05:38This time it's the Latvian Pahars nutmegging the Dutchman Stam
05:43and then comprehensively beating the Italian Taibbi in goal
05:49It's a real talent Pahars
05:51Signed from Skontariga
05:57Scoles
06:00Manchester United having to come from behind for the second week running
06:04at least that's their hope
06:10Sylvester
06:12away by Hughes
06:22York
06:28Scoles
06:34Beckham
06:41and here's Irwin
06:43and York
06:45and it's well blocked by Jason Dodd
06:51Sylvester
06:54anticlimactic
07:00That goal from Pahars though is getting the expected response
07:04from the reigning champions
07:09Think about it says Dave Jones
07:12It's third season as Saints manager
07:1412th position then 17th last season
07:22Pahars
07:25Berg and Stam sorting it out between them
07:39Beckham
07:45Full obligingly for Ripley
07:48Sylvester with the block this time
07:51Solskjaer
07:53Sylvester is down having been fouled
07:57The referee, Mr Dunne has given the free kick
08:03Mikhail Sylvest
08:04£4 million worth of defensive talent
08:06signed from Inter Milan
08:12Liverpool were very interested in acquiring his services too
08:22Referee's happy now
08:24Beckham
08:29He's behind by Dean Richards
08:37Great applause for Beckham as he comes across to tee up the corner
08:52Berg off the post
08:55Really unlucky Henning Berg
08:57He got up terrifically well
09:01It's two years since he last scored
09:04Now he has to get back and do some defensive duty
09:06Ripley
09:09Irwin
09:10Very calmly done
09:11Well done
09:19Evaded his defensive markers
09:26Sheringham
09:28Looking for sculls, finding Richards
09:36Dodd
09:39Here's Matthew Oakley
09:42Yes
09:44Hughes
09:59Dwight York
10:02Southampton not keeping the ball as well now
10:06Irwin
10:07There's a steady supply of possession for Manchester United
10:12That goes Caslu
10:17There's a touch by the Moroccan
10:27Irwin
10:30Beckham
10:32Solskjaer
10:38It's beginning to click for the home team
10:42Hughes
10:44Solskjaer
10:52Hughes
10:54Solskjaer
10:59Sylvester in front of Ripley
11:05Sculls
11:08Dwight York
11:12Off the ball by Oakley
11:16Southampton have lost on their last ten visits to Old Trafford
11:23Here's Paul Sculls
11:27Beckham
11:28Sheringham
11:34A very graceful near post finish
11:42A goal that had been coming for a while
11:52Gained a yard on Dean Richards
11:55And swept it
11:57Past Paul Jones
12:02Good goalkeeper, beaten by a good goal
12:05Despite the left hand
12:07Sheringham
12:14Dodd
12:21Now Saltvet
12:24To his fellow Norwegian, Lundekvall
12:37Solskjaer
12:41Was meant for Sylvester
12:52Can he prevent the corner? No he can't
12:55Stuart Ripley
13:06Beckham to take
13:20Punch by Jones
13:22Sculls
13:24Back to Beckham
13:26Sheringham
13:28And again denied
13:30Two excellent saves
13:32There's York
13:36Manchester United are in front
13:39But it's really tough on poor Paul Jones
13:45Twice he kept out goal bound efforts from Sheringham
13:50The second was a wonder save
13:53But then he was stranded
13:55As York nodded Manchester United into the lead
13:59Most unassuming character Jones
14:03Non-league football with Kidderminster
14:06Was discovered by Wolves
14:08Went to Stockport
14:10With Dave Jones to Southampton
14:12But beaten in the end there
14:23Sylvester
14:25Sylvester
14:29York
14:39Denardley
14:41Out-muscled by Beckham
14:43It doesn't matter, there's the half-time whistle
14:45Manchester United have turned it around
14:48Trailing to Marion Parha's early goal
14:50Sheringham and then York
14:52Despite good goalkeeping from Jones
14:54And Manchester United lead 2-1
15:03Lundekar's back pass
15:07Dismissively dealt with by Jones
15:13Dennis Irwin
15:18Manchester United needed a couple of late goals
15:21To win this game last season
15:22They were nearly presented with one there
15:26This time it's Jason Dodd that saves the day
15:30Rush of blood by Jones, the goalkeeper
15:34York
15:36Sculls
15:38Is charged down
15:43Good positioning you would have to call it
15:45By Jason Dodd
15:47Here's Hughes
15:49Matissier, he scuffed it
15:51Oh, it's got right through Taibbi
16:00Well, why is he looking at his studs?
16:03Why not look at his hands?
16:07It was actually a miss-hit
16:12And Taibbi went down
16:14And it went through his arms
16:16Through his legs
16:19It was like a chicken laying an egg
16:22But what a calamitous moment
16:24For Massimo Taibbi
16:26They paid four and a half million pounds
16:28To bring him from Venezia
16:37Old Trafford, certainly the home support
16:39Stunned into near silence
16:44They've tried Bosnitz, they've tried Bayern
16:46They've tried Bosnitz, they've tried Van der Haal this season
16:49Since Schmeichel's departure to sporting Lisbon
16:53And now this big Italian who's come with a glowing reputation
17:01But what a howler
17:09Solskjaer
17:11York, lovely ball back
17:13Solskjaer, good save
17:17Very quickly off his line, Paul Jones
17:22Scheringham
17:24Irwin
17:34One goalkeeper excelling
17:37Another having a moment of horror
17:40Abject horror
17:42Stamp
17:47Irwin
17:56Maybe Manchester United should have signed Paul Jones instead
18:07Casual
18:12Southampton, lucky to be level
18:15You need luck when you come as a visiting team to Old Trafford
18:21You also need to play exceptionally well to get anything
18:26Nicky Butt
18:33Beckham
18:39It's Butt
18:42It's going to take something special to beat Jones on this form
18:54Letizia
19:01Scored on this ground last season in that 2-1 defeat
19:11Henningburg
19:13Scholes
19:17Scheringham
19:19Here's Nicky Butt
19:21There's Dwight York
19:313-2
19:33Manchester United in the lead again
19:42Excellent move
19:44York just onside
19:48And there was nothing that Jones could do about that one
19:55Eighth of the season for Dwight York
20:02Marsden
20:06Oakley
20:07Hughes
20:09Ripley
20:11Cutting in on the angle
20:13Ball cut out by Jaap Stam
20:36Oakley's lining this up
20:41Stam
20:42That's Hughes!
20:44Still rising as it struck the face of the crossbar
20:50Reminiscent of some of the great goals he scored on this ground in the red of Manchester United
20:58Couldn't have struck that any more sweetly
21:01Great technique
21:06Goalkeeper
21:07Nowhere near
21:11Hey!
21:14Cashloo
21:20Southampton in their 22nd consecutive season in the top division of English football
21:25Promoted back in 1978 under the astute guidance of Laurie McMenamy
21:31It's a proud record that they want to extend
21:35Sylvester
21:36He's lost it to Pahas
21:39Leticier!
21:44It's another horrible defensive blunder by Manchester United
21:48They've now presented two goals to Southampton
21:53And it's 3-3
21:55Sylvester that time
22:02Robbed by the Latvian Pahas
22:05Who teed it up
22:07For Matt Leticier
22:18Don't send her away
22:21Now much disquiet around Old Trafford
22:27Sylvester who made the error
22:32Solskjaer
22:33There's York!
22:34York!
22:36And Lundefarne steers it behind
22:42There is a worry for Southampton
22:44It is that that third goal has come with still plenty of time to go
22:54Jones' punch
22:56Down
22:58York!
23:05Well, a draw, a 3-3 draw
23:10Would
23:12Be a
23:13Big disappointment for Manchester United
23:15Following on from the 1-1 draw with Wimbledon last week
23:19May not be a draw of course, here's Sheringham
23:22Now it's York
23:24And it's Wimbledon
23:26And it's York
23:28And it's York
23:30And it's York
23:32And it's York
23:35Beckham
23:36And Scholes
23:44Masters of the late goal
23:50And Scholes nearly provided it
23:58Beattie
24:00Cutting inside Stam
24:01James Beattie could win it!
24:04Off the outstretched leg of Taibi
24:08Partial redemption
24:09Only partial redemption for the goalkeeper
24:14Years of excellence
24:15Wonder saves from Schmeichel and
24:18Today a horrible blunder
24:20From Taibi but at least he was up to it then
24:26Beckham
24:30Sheringham going up, there's York
24:34And Sheringham
24:38And Southampton clear
24:39And they may now have done enough
24:46The day will forever be remembered for Taibi's blunder
24:50Southampton played very well though too
24:52And thoroughly deserve a 3-3 draw
24:56Well that game would prove to be a significant one
24:58For United goalkeeper Massimo Taibi
25:00His high profile error cost him his Manchester United career
25:04He played just once more for the club
25:06Before being loaned to Regina
25:08But United still finish champions of England once again
25:12Southampton had a satisfactory season
25:14Though there was the low of a 7-2 defeat to Tottenham
25:17And Dave Jones left for personal reasons in January
25:20Glenn Hoddle replaced him
25:21And guided the club to 15th position on 44 points
