Behind at the break to a thumping Richard Chaplow drive, United silenced the St Mary’s crowd in the second half with goals from Michael Owen and the Mexican youngster. Hernandez helped dig United out of hole at Bloomfield Road on Tuesday and rounded his week off by grabbing a first ever FA Cup goal 14 minutes from time.

Javier Hernandez Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez completed his move to Old Trafford in July 2010, becoming United’s first Mexican player. The exciting young striker joined from hometown club Chivas de Guadalajara, for whom he had scored 29 goals in 79 games since making his debut as a teenager in 2006.
