Manchester United defender James Chester scored his first senior goal in Carlisle United's 3-2 win over Southampton.

The 21-year-old Manchester United ­defender headed home a corner from James Berrett as Southampton were threatening to stage a comeback.

"This was a game that we needed to win, so to score a goal as important as that is massive," said Chester.

"They had just got a goal back and it's easy to crumble after something like that ­happens.

"However, we kept going and that third goal was obviously the clincher. I'm really pleased that I got it."
