    A SOUTHAMPTON shirt had to be scrambled from the dressing room before the forgetful Dusan Tadic could enter the Old Trafford pitch.

    Within minutes, it was being ripped off again as the second-half substitute celebrated scoring the goal that gave Southampton its first win at Manchester United in 27 years.

    "When I wanted to come on, the shirt and shin pads were not there (in the dugout), but I don't know what happened," Tadic said after clinching the victory. "This isn't important. It's important we won."

    Ronald Koeman's Southampton side ended United's 10-game unbeaten run in the Premier League and dislodged the hosts — managed by fellow Dutchman Louis van Gaal — from third place.

    Arsenal is only a point behind fourth-place United after Alexis Sanchez scored two and created one in a 3-0 victory over Stoke.

    Meanwhile, Lyon moved to the top of the French league after striker Alexandre Lacazette, one of eight homegrown players in its starting lineup, scored twice in a 3-0 win against Toulouse to take his season's tally to 19 in 20 games.

    The win moved Lyon one point clear of second-place Marseille, and an impressive four clear of two-time defending champion Paris Saint-Germain, which continues to struggle despite having five players in its squad costing more than €40 million (US$47 million), while the nucleus of Lyon's side costs nothing.

    Lacazette scored twice inside the first 30 minutes and 21-year-old midfielder Nabil Fekir added the other goal just after the break to make it eight league goals in 16 games.

    Also, fifth-place Monaco is five points behind PSG after drawing 0-0 at home to sixth-place Bordeaux, and seventh-place Nantes drew 0-0 at home to Metz.

    A minute's silence was held before all matches this weekend in memory of the 17 people killed in a terrorist rampage in Paris this week.
