It was Shaw, not Ace Bruno Fernandes, veteran striker Edinson Cabani, and main gun Marcus Rashford. Shaw dominated the first half by making a big success in karate.
This can be easily confirmed by simply looking at the record. Shaw provided five key passes (passes connected by shooting) to his teammates in the first half only, and recorded the most in this game early. The number of ownership acquisitions was also 8, which was unrivaled in the first half. Even including the second half, it was the second place, just one less than Fred’s 9 innings. Cross was also the highest in the first half with four (2nd place after Brunu in the 7th if both the first half were included).
This is not all. Ball touch was the highest in the first half with 53 times. The pass success rate reached a whopping 92%. It was a show that had a high level of influence throughout the airlift by attempting to tackle twice and succeeding in one, and also recording an effective shot once.

In the process, Shaw assisted the opening goal by delivering a courier cross to defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka, a defender on the right, flooding with Munpost in the 17th minute. He then dribbled around the 24th minute, passing the defense and connecting the forward pass to serve as the starting point for Rashford’s goal.(Rashford scored the goal with a non-stop shooting after Mason Greenwood passed the forward pass of the show.
This is not all. On the 34th minute, with Southampton defender Jan Bedranek’s own 3-0 lead, Shaw assisted Kabani’s heading goal with another delivery cross on the 39th minute. Manchester United assisted 2 out of 4 goals scored in the first half, and was directly or indirectly involved in 3 goals.

Originally from the Southampton youth, Shaw made his pro debut at the age of 16, and since childhood he has been in the limelight as a left-handed defender who will be responsible for England’s future. In the 2013/14 season when he was 18 years old, it was a show that quickly emerged as a top left-handed defender of the PL, as he was proudly named as the PFA Team of the Year. Thanks to this, he was transferred to United in the summer of 2014, recording the highest transfer fee of 30 million pounds (approximately 45.8 billion KRW), the highest transfer fee of 10 football players all over the world beyond England at the time.
However, he suffered from frequent injuries from his debut season (2014/15) and had a difficult time. He had been doing well in his second year, but had to end the season early in the match against PSV Eindhoven on September 16, 2015, when defender Hector Moreno suffered a multiple shin fracture in the murder tackle. After long-term injuries, he was struggling with frequent injuries and failure to manage weight.
By the way, from the 2018/19 season, he began to become a stable left-handed defender, recovering some of his old skills. The problem was in the attack. After the fracture, he couldn’t recover his previous speed and his attack power didn’t fall short of his Southampton days. In the summer of 2020, Manchester United signed Porto left-wing defender Alex Teles, who had a reputation as an offensive flanking defender as a rotation resource to replace Shaw’s lack of attack power.
However, with Teles revealing problems in the defense, the show was showing a gradual improvement in offense this season. He still hasn’t been able to realize the explosive speed when he was a child, but his kick power started to draw an upward curve. In fact, he was ranked first in the overall crossing success rate of 32.6% among PL side defenders this season, and the chance making was also running second with 30 times. The expected help figure was also second with 3.36. It was a show that only helped until the 21st round by a slight difference.

He boasted a sense of kick that reached the climax against Southampton, his home team, and laid the foothold for a 9-0 win with 2 help. This is the first time in the show’s player career that the PL match 2 helps.
Shaw’s defensive abilities are among the top of the PL flanks. In particular, it is a show that reigns as an ace killer by tying up Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah in succession. In addition to this, if he continues to show the same scoring productivity as against Southampton, he will be able to establish himself as the world’s top flank defender.
2-For the first time in his career, Luke Shaw scored two assists in one Premier League game. He has helped 2 in the previous 45 games. Delivery. https://twitter.com/OptaJoon/status/1356756459174858753/photo/1
