Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a dramatic 87 th -minute
winner as Manchester United edged Southampton to
win the EFL Cup in a pulsating Wembley final .
Ibrahimovic had given United the lead with a sublime
free -kick before Jesse Lingard made it 2-0 from the
edge of the box after Marcos Rojo’ s cut -back .
Yet Southampton staged a remarkable fightback ,
Manolo Gabbiadini tucking home through the legs of
David de Gea shortly before the interval.
Southampton equalised when Gabbiadini , a £14m buy
from Napoli earlier this month , held off Chris Smalling
before spinning and scoring with a low finish , before
Ibrahimovic’ s powerful header from Ander Herrera’ s
cross .
The Saints had been denied a third goal when the
score was 2-2 when Oriol Romeu headed against the
post from a corner.
The win secured Jose Mourinho his first major trophy
in his first season as United manager
