SOUTHAMPTON have taken a shock lead as Manuel Ugarte saw a corner go in off his BACK.

The goal was the first time Southampton have scored for a corner this SEASON – with the lead well deserved with Saints impressive at Old Trafford.

Man Utd star Alejandro Garnacho had earlier missed a golden chance inside the first 20 minutes as United dominated possession but struggled to create chances.

The Red Devils have taken just one point from their last four matches in the top flight – leaving Ruben Amorim’s side closer to the relegation zone than the top four.

And he cut the ball back to Garnacho but the out-of-form winger sliced his effort wide.

Hojlund kicked the post and went ballistic at Garnacho – with replays picking up the moment of rage.

Garnacho was handed his 11th start of the Premier League season at Old Trafford – despite speculation he could leave in the January window.

Napoli are in the market for a winger and have been tracking the Argentine’s situation this season.

According to The Mirror, United are in talks with Napoli but rejected a £40million offer for the Argentine.

The Serie A leaders are on the verge of losing Khvicha Kvaratskelia to PSG in a £70m transfer.

And Garnacho – believed to be ready to leave Old Trafford – is their No1 target to replace Kvaratskelia.

But it is claimed United are holding out for £60m for their homegrown star.

Garnacho came through United’s ranks and has 23 goals in 116 appearances since making his debut in 2022.

But this season he has been at loggerheads with manager Ruben Amorim – who dropped the forward for the Manchester derby in December.

LEWIS HAMILTON has been enjoying his winter holiday… by jumping out of a HELICOPTER.

But before the season gets underway in March, the 40-year-old has enjoyed some time off by hitting the slopes.

Taking to his Instagram story, Hamilton shared of video of himself heliskiing.

In the video he was seen being dropped off at a location by a helicopter before enjoying some snowboarding alongside three-time Olympic half-pipe snowboarding champion Shaun White.

Hamilton, suitably seen in the red colours of his new team, captured some of the footage with a selfie stick.

The video was captioned: “Mountain man,” and had the song “Protect Ta Neck by Wu-Tang Clan over the top.

Hamilton is making the most of the break and was recently romantically linked with Sofia Vergara.

The Modern Family actress, 52, set tongues wagging after she was spotted on a flirty date with the Stevenage-born ace.

Hamilton often takes the chance to globe-trot when he is not behind the wheel of an F1 car.

During the summer break the Brit opted to visit Paris for the Olympic Games.

Other excursions have seen him take trips to Africa, South America, Mexico and the Carribbean.

Hamilton will continue to drive with his signature number 44 at Ferrari.

He will be partnering Tifosi darling Charles Leclerc for the upcoming season, taking the seat of Carlos Sainz who has in turn joined Williams.

Ferrari finished second in the constructors championship last year, while Hamilton individually came seventh in his Mercedes, which was often the subject of experimental setups.

HORRIFYING footage shows the moment a woman “hit a female cop in the face” and left her sobbing in the corner of a train.

Police were seen attempting to restrain a female passenger on a train that had stopped at Birmingham New Street Station, in a video posted on X.

Filmed by another passenger, the woman was recorded shouting verbal abuse at officers before she then “hit” a female cop onboard the CrossCountry train.

She was then quickly escorted her off the service while the female officer let out a cry, remaining on the floor near the closed door of the train.

Members of British Transport Police could be heard shouting “calm down now” as they attempted to restrain the woman.

One other officer remained with the female cop to console her and appeared to request for medical assistance in the video.

The woman was held up against the wall of the platform while officers tried to restrain her, with one heard shouting “stop resisting”.

She was eventually taken to the floor by cops despite seeming to attempt to wriggle her way out of the hold.

A person on the train can be overheard saying: “She’s kicking the police officers.”

Turning back to the train, the female officer can be seen in distress and crying, still remaining in the same position on the floor next to the closed door.

British Transport Police confirmed that a woman was arrested at Birmingham New Street on suspicion of domestic violence and two counts of assault against an emergency worker.

Commenting under the video on X, the force said: “We have zero-tolerance for violence on the railway, particularly against officers just doing their job.

“Officers were responding to a separate incident on the train at Birmingham New Street railway station when they were made aware of a report of domestic violence.

“An officer was assaulted whilst separating the pair, requiring hospital treatment.

“A second officer was also assaulted.

“A woman was arrested on suspicion of one count of domestic violence and two counts of assault against an emergency worker.”

The video – captioned “A woman hit a police officer at Birmingham new street station” – has already amassed well over 100,000 views and hundreds of comments, with some condemning the incident.

One user said: “Shocking behaviour, poor policewoman sitting distressed on the floor.”

Just last month, a man was spotted running from a barber shop mid-haircut to help cops that were being attacked at a bus stop in Warrington, Cheshire.

Kyle Whiting was getting a trim when he spotted an officer being punched by a thug at a bus stop.

Still wearing his barber’s cape, he ran across the road and wrestled with the yob until two further police vehicles arrived.

TROUBLED telly star Paul Danan has been hailed as an “exceptional talent” — after his death aged 46 on the day before he was due in court to face drug charges.

Tributes poured in for the ex-Hollyoaks actor.

Paul’s management company said in a statement: “Known for his television presence, exceptional talent, and unwavering kindness, Paul was a beacon of light to so many.

“His untimely departure will leave irreplaceable voids in the lives of all who knew him.”

His death on Wednesday came hours before he was due to face Warrington JPs in Cheshire charged with possessing cocaine and cannabis.

Paul was also accused of driving under the influence of drugs last October.

Former girlfriend Katie Price said: “Wow, just speechless and shocked. Many memories I’ll always remember.”

Close pal Calum Best, who appeared with Paul in ITV2 travelogue series Calum, Fran and Dangerous Danan, said: “Paul was one of the funniest, kindest, and most real people I’ve ever known — truly a creative genius too.

“Life wasn’t always easy for him, but he faced it with such heart and courage, and that inspired so many of us.

“We shared so many laughs and unforgettable moments. My heart goes out to his loved ones. Rest easy, brother.”

And ex-EastEnders actor Michael Greco said: “In this day and age of falsities and fake people, he was a genuine and caring man who just wanted to please everyone.”

Paul, who had nine-year-old son DeNiro, was best known as Sol Patrick in C4 soap Hollyoaks from 1997 until 2001.

He also starred in the first series of Celebrity Love Island in 2005 and Celebrity Big Brother in 2017.

The star, who appeared in two series of Celebrity Love Island , previously slammed the show for being “dangerous”.

He appeared on the first series in 2005 and ended up coming back for the second one as well.

In an unearthed interview in 2020, the late star warned the show’s bosses about the “dangers” that instant reality fame could pose to the Islanders taking part.

Speaking to the Mirror Online, Paul said: “It’s mad to see it come on at this time of year.

“To be honest, it’s so contrived. Back in the day when I did Love Island we were left alone, we weren’t told to pair up with anyone, we could just do what we wanted.

“If we liked someone, great, if we didn’t then we didn’t need to do anything.”

A Love Island spokesperson told the outlet at the time that the relationships formed on the show are completely up to the Islanders.

In 2022, Paul starred on Celebrity Coach trip, which he later revealed left him needing therapy.

The show typically sees contestants voted off the coach by the other participants, and Paul admitted that he found the process “brutal”.

He said of the experience: “I had to get a bit of counselling. It taps into a lot of stuff – like rejection. It’s brutal.”

Paul had also been open about his past struggles with addiction and mental health.

In 2020 he started the free acting workshop Morning After Drama offering sessions for recovering addicts, former prisoners and young people.

Last year, he collapsed and was hospitalised with pneumonia — which he blamed on his addiction to vaping.

Afterwards, Paul told The Sun: “I was dead — it’s a miracle I’m here. I’m so lucky.”

He previously told of his addictions to cocaine and the painkiller codeine and said he had spent more than £1million on rehab over the years.

Days before his death he posted a video on Instagram talking about an audition for a role in a Shakespeare play.

In the post he revealed his passion for acting had been revitalised by the potential of a new role.

He wrote: “Audition for A Twelfth Night to play Orsino.
It’s been a long time since I’ve gone near a bit of the Master that is Our pioneer Sir William Shakespeare.

“You forget what a Genius he really was and remember how beautiful and exhilarating it is when you get stuck in to tackling his work. It’s an amazing experience! I forget sometimes how much i need to be awoken…”

Police yesterday said that his death was not being treated as suspicious.

Avon and Somerset Police said: “Officers attended a property in Brislington, Bristol, at around 5.20pm yesterday where sadly a man in his 40s was declared deceased by paramedics.”

AN “ARMAGEDDON alert” will override millions of Brits’ phones nationwide and trigger a loud siren – here’s what to do if you’re driving.

A senior cabinet member has said the alert system, first launched in 2023, will be tested to ensure it’s ready for emergencies.

The UK’s emergency alert system will be tested later this year[/caption]

The “Armageddon alert” system recently saw action during Storm Darragh when it ordered more than three million people to stay indoors during 90mph winds.

It works by alerting all 4G and 5G phones in a range, causing them to emit a siren and vibrate for up to ten seconds.

The system was set up to warn people of any “danger to life” situations like a flood or wildfire nearby, as well as potential terror incidents and civil defence emergencies.

If you receive an alert, you do not need to do anything but must swipe away the message or click OK on your phone’s home screen in order to use your device.

While this loud warning system may cause drivers to panic and potentially reach for their devices while at the wheel, they have been advised to not do so.

If the alert goes off while you’re driving, you should not pick up your phone as touching your mobile while driving could see you slapped with a £200 fine and six points on your licence.

The Highway Code states that using a phone while driving is in breach of rule 149, and could even result in the driver being taken to court.

This rule applies to using your device at traffic lights, in traffic, and instructing a learner driver.

To escape legal trouble, drivers are urged to stop the car before acknowledging the message.

Alternatively, other passengers in the vehicle are allowed to clear the notification on your behalf.

Previous test messages have read: “This is a test of Emergency Alerts, a new UK government service that will warn you if there’s a life-threatening emergency nearby.

“In a real emergency, follow the instructions in the alert to keep yourself and others safe.

“Visit gov.uk/alerts for more information.

“This is a test. You do not need to take any action.”

Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Pat McFadden told the Mirror: “Most countries that have this system test it quite regularly and so we don’t want it just to be once years ago and then everybody forgets it exists.

“This should be part of our armoury in warning people about major risks.”

Around 87 million devices are estimated to be pinged with the test message, the date of which will be announced later this year.

While you can opt out of the test by turning off emergency alerts in your device’s settings, the Government has advised people to keep the alerts active in order to keep themselves safe.

The emergency alert is modelled on systems currently used in Japan, Canada, the Netherlands and the US.
