After the goal celebration ended, Manchester United started kick-off again. After the kick-off was done, they immediately launched an attack. However, Southampton lined up so neatly that Manchester United's players struggled to break into the penalty box. After judging that there was no more time, Paul Scholes finally took a long shot from outside the penalty box. Too bad, Dean Smith caught the shot easily.
The referee sounded the long whistle, signaling the end of the match. The Manchester United players immediately fell on the field. Some of them wept, while others looked down sadly. Last season, Manchester United also failed to win the league championship because they lost to Chelsea, the club that made them fail was Manchester City. Now they failed again, Manchester United failed to overtake Liverpool because they failed to beat Southampton.
