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
