The second and third goals were scored by Nani and Darron Gibson respectively. The Portuguese player Nani, who debuted for United in August 2007, scored on a penalty given in the second half of the match whereas, Gibson scored the final goal of the match with one of his nimble shots. Matt Paterson of Saints was shown the red card when he hurled himself into Nemanja Vidic. Left with only 10 players just 36 minutes into the game, Southampton could do nothing but fight a losing game. Manchester's win over the League Championship club ensured that it avoided joining ranks with the two top notch teams of Manchester City and Stoke who faced unexpected loses from their lower level rivals. Soccer blogs highlighted the fact that Southampton had beaten Manchester United in the finals of the FA Cup held in 1976, which also happened to be their last honor in the FA Cup. Experienced players, Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs, were called back to join the team as the coach wanted to get the right balance with those who had been-there-and-done-it before and the promising newcomers like Welbeck. Manchester United's boss, Sir Alex, was delighted with his team and showered high praise on Welbeck. Having decided to give a rest to top players Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez, Welbeck found himself starting the match and succeeded in scoring only in the 20th minute of the game. He managed to get a header straight into the goal through the Saints' goalkeeper, Kelvin Davis. The 19 years old was replaced by Wayne Rooney in the forward position midway during the second half of the match. Latest soccer results for those who were unable to watch the matches are available online. Manchester United was already leading 2-0 at this point. In the 48th minute of the second half, Saints' David McGoldrick was ruled against for having behaved harshly during Nani's free kick. This gave United's Nani the chance to kick from the penalty spot and he made no mistakes in getting the ball rolling into the goal. The third goal was scored by Gibson in the 81st minute of the second half thanks to Wayne Rooney's run and pull back. The four teams that have emerged as the highest point scorers of the third round and will be facing one another in the fourth round of the FA Cup will be pitted against each other in 2 matches: Liverpool vs. Everton and Manchester United vs. Tottenham.
