Manchester United went into the EFL Cup Final as favourites, and opponents Southampton may have felt they would have needed the breaks to go their way early on.
Instead, however, the opposite was true, with the first real flashpoint going the way of José Mourinho's side.
Manolo Gabbiadini was chosen to lead the line by Claude Puel, and he thought he had given his team an early lead when he turned in a low cross from Cédric.
Unfortunately for the Italian, his celebrations were cut short by an offside flag which seemed at best very harsh and at worst just plain wrong.

1-0 Manchester United.
It didn't take long after that for United to go ahead through a Zlatan Ibrahimović free-kick, which many felt Fraser Forster should have been able to deal with.

The conversations originally were all about the goal that should have been, with plenty of frustration from those rooting for the underdog.
And, as tends to be the case when English football's most decorated club gets a decision their way, the words 'agenda' and 'conspiracy' began to creep into the responses.

They soon went quiet.
ABU's only moan when United are winning.
