      Surridge, 24, thought he had brought his side level in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final at the City Ground.
      Morgan Gibbs-White led the rapid counter-attack at United’s exposed defence on 22 minutes.
      He slipped in Surridge, who coolly curled the ball into the bottom corner past David De Gea.
      The ex-Bournemouth man – who scored an equaliser at the Vitality on Saturday – raced away to celebrate in front of the travelling Red Devils supporters as the home end of the stadium erupted.

      And he chose to recreate the ‘meditating pose’ made famous by ex-United star Ronaldo and also performed by United star Alejandro Garnacho before his Forest team-mates mobbed him.
      However, Forest’s joy was cut short when the VAR looked at the replays and proved Surridge was just offside when the pass was played.
      And plenty of fans took to social media to mock the unfortunate forward – describing the incident as a “bit awkward”.
      One said: “Surridge with the Ronaldo celebration. Only to be called for offside. In your face.”

      And a final user commented: “And he hit with a Ronaldo celebration against Man Utd this Surridge guy 😭😭😭. Nice try tho.”
      United led 1-0 at the time of Surridge’s blooper moment thanks to Marcus Rashford’s early opener to continue his red-hot form.
      On-loan striker Wout Weghort made it 2-0 to Erik ten Hag’s side just before half-time before Bruno Fernandes completed a dominant 3-0 win.

      by

      Rashford received the ball 10 yards inside his own half close to the left touchline.
      He then accelerated forward at the Forest defence, squeezing his way past several opponents into the box, before smashing the ball past Wayne Hennessey.
      That was his 10th goal in 10 matches since he returned to United from England duty at the World Cup.
      And it led on from his impressive displays for the Three Lions in Qatar, where he scored three times in five outings.

      Goodnight from St Mary’s
      Newcastle were heavy favourites to win the game and they finally made their quality count late on following Joelinton’s goal.
      Southampton gave as good as they got in the second half and will be devastated not to go to St James’ Park at least on level terms.
      Not only because their disallowed goal but also because of Adams’ great chance at 0-0.
      But Howe’s side continue their exceptional season and will have a full week to recover before the second leg next Tuesday.
      Until then, goodnight.
      Howe pleased with the result
      Eddie Howe refused to get carried away despite Newcastle moving a step closer to reaching the Carabao Cup final.
      He said: “It was a tough game, both teams had their moments. I’m pleased to win the game, but we know it’s only half-time.
      “We created chances today, we weren’t clinical until Jo’s goal, but it happens, I can’t be critical.
      “Nick made some saves at the end, but there’s still a lot to play in the tie.”
      Reaction from Bruno and Pope
      Bruno said: “We played very well, we controlled the game but we missed some chances we can’t miss.
      “I’m proud of the team today. One goal is important, of course we could score more.
      “I would like to say thank you to Nick Pope for saving us, I think he’s the best goalkeeper in the world.”
      Pope said: “A lot of work goes into the clean sheets. That aspect of our game we put a lot of hard work into that.”

      FT. Southampton 0-1 Newcastle
      Following a poor opening 45 minutes, the game burst into life midway through the second half.
      Ultimately, Joelinton’s goal puts Newcastle in pole position to reach their first major final for 24 years.
      But Southampton will feel aggrieved after Armstrong’s equaliser was chalked off.
      Regardless, with 10 clean sheets in their last 11 games, Howe’s men will be confident of making it to Wembley next month.

      FT. Southampton 0-1 Newcastle
      Newcastle pushed hard for a second goal with Murphy hitting the side netting late on while Isak also missed a fine chance with the last kick of the game.

      Kick-off: Southampton 0-0 Newcastle
      We are back underway at St Mary’s.
      No changes for either side.
      HT: Southampton 0-0 Newcastle
      Quite a poor first 45 minutes of this tie.
      Newcastle have been on top with Trippier and Almiron looking a real danger down the right.
      But the away team haven’t been ruthless enough when they’ve got into good positions, which is why they’ve only tested Bazunu once.
      Southampton enjoyed a decent spell late in the half with Alcarez testing Pope from distance.
      All to play for after the break.

      HT: Southampton 0-0 Newcastle
      That brings a relatively uneventful opening period to an end.
      Newcastle have been the better side, but they’ve struggled to turn their dominance into chances.
      Joelinton saw his effort ruled out for handball just before the break.

      Southampton 0-0 Newcastle
      45+3. Djenepo heads down the tunnel and isn’t going to be able to continue.
      On in his place is former Newcastle striker Adam Armstrong, who’s a boyhood Magpies supporter.
      Southampton 0-0 Newcastle
      45. We’ve just entered four minutes of added time at the end of the first half and Southampton have a free-kick in a decent position on the right after Pope races out of his goal and clatters into Djenepo.
      The Southampton man is down receiving treatment.

      Saints 0 Newcastle 1: Joelinton has goal disallowed and misses sitter before FINALLY sending Toon step closer to final

      by

      FOR a while, we had witnessed vintage Joelinton – the one from the Mike Ashley era who played at centre-forward and couldn’t hit a cow’s backside with a banjo. The big Brazilian bungled one close-range chance by handling before he found the netted –  and then produced a miss-of-the-season contender by Row-Zedding it from six yards.

      But, finally, the new Joelinton – the impressive model from the ultra-efficient Geordie Arabia era – emerged, finding the net with a two-yard tap-in sending the massed ranks of Toon Army foot soldiers into rapture. 
      They were telling their Ma they don’t want no tea, they were going to Wembley. 
      And next Tuesday, at an expectant St James’ Park, Eddie Howe’s men will surely fulfil that prophet by wrapping up this Carabao Cup semi-final in the second leg. 
      Saints, rock-bottom of the Premier League, had an equaliser ruled out because of an Adam Armstrong handball but had centre-half Duje Caleta-Car sent off late on as Newcastle’s superior class began to tell.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      Eddie Howe’s side will surely be at Wembley on February 26, to face Manchester United or Nottingham Forest – and they will fancy their chances of a first domestic trophy since the long gone days of Wor Jackie Milburn.  
      Given the 18-year hiatus since their last semi-final appearance, and their 54-year wait for any major trophy, the 644-mile trip from Tyneside would have felt like a trip to the local for the Toon Army. 
      Their team have been solid, professional but actually rather boring of late, yet after more than a decade of shambolic, amateurish and actually rather boring under Ashley, this season has represented a major uplift. 
      Among the home support, there wasn’t the same sense of occasion. The threat of relegation and a dismal Premier League record at St Mary’s saw to that.

      Nick Pope – dressed in fluorescent orange like a steward – has had a similar none-shall-pass attitude to his work of late. 
      He has not conceded a goal since a late Saints consolation in a 4-1 win here on November 6 – a run of ten straight clean sheets for the puritan Pope. 
      Newcastle ought to have gone in front in the second minute whe Miguel Almiron went on a scamper and squared for Joe Willock but the midfielder, in glorious isolation, skied his shot. 
      The Saints were clearly struggling for confidence and rhythm, their central defenders, Lyanco and Caleta-Car, consistently passing to Newcastle players and inviting pressure on the hosts. 
      Caleta-Car clattered Almiron with a horrible clumsy challenge which earned him a booking. 
      When Newcastle broke soon after, Almiron on a bandy-legged dribble, Kieran Trippier with a trademark whipped centre, Willock was at it again, ballooning his volley.

      Howe’s men thought they had scored five minutes before the break when Willock cut in from the left and forced a save from Gavin Bazunu.
      As Mohammed Salisu hacked clear, there were a queue of Newcastle players waiting but Joelinton seemed to control with his arm before his shot found the net and ref Stuart Attwell ruled it out. 
      Pope was soon forced into an improvised save from a fizzing, swerving low drive from Carlos Alcaraz. 
      And Pope, suddenly busy, had to dart out of his area to clear from Moussa Djenepro, thudding into the Saints winger as he did so but escaping punishment despite the howls of the home players and supporters.
      After the break, Almiron was leaving scorched earth down the left flank again but when he cut back, Sean Longstaff cleared the bar, the theme for Newcastle’s evening.
      After Alcaraz – the Argentinian midfielder making his full debut – had nutmegged Dan Burn, Sekjou Mara sent a scissors kick just wide.

      But then came an extraordinary miss, which seemed to sum up Newcastle’s recent form.
      Almiron’s pace and trickery bewildered the Saints defence but after his low centre located Joelinton six yards out, the Brazilian somehow shot over despite attempting to side-foot, rather than blast it.
      Alcaraz, who can definitely play a bit, released Che Adams but the sub almost had too much time to think and shot too close to Pope, who stuck out a foot to save. 
      This was more like it from Southampton and soon Adams forced a sprawling save from Pope. 
      But then Alexander Isak, just on for Callum Wilson, beat his man down the right and centred low for Joelinton to finally end his frustration from two yards as the Geordies cavorted behind him.

      Saints thought they had equalised almost immediately but Armstrong had handled, as he and Dan Burn fell over each other, as he applied the finishing touch to Samuel Edozie’s hooked centre.
      Caleta-Car suffered his second booking for chopping down Allan Saint-Maximin late on and the Geordies will have sung as they de-iced their motors for the long journey home.  More

      But the Magpies goalkeeper raced out of his box to head the ball clear away from danger.
      However, after nodding the ball away to safety, Pope clattered through Djenepo.
      The Mali star, 24, collapsed to the turf and was treated by Saints medical staff on the St Mary’s pitch.
      After several minutes of attention, he was able to get up and walk down the tunnel unassisted.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      However, Djenepo – who scored in the stunning quarter-final win over Manchester City – could not carry on and was replaced by Adam Armstrong as a concussion sub.
      Pope was penalised with just a free-kick – but there was no further punishment in terms of a card from referee Stuart Attwell.
      Fans on social media were torn over whether Pope should have been booked – or even sent off – for the challenge, while others sent their best wishes.
      One wrote: “One question – would you expect a defender to get penalised for that challenge from Pope on Djenepo? Absolutely. So why isn’t Pope punished?”

      Another said: “Won the ball but out of control, red card Pope.”
      A third added: “That is an absolute straight red card for Pope. Reckless, out of control, and clearly endangering another player. If that’s done by an outfield player it would be a red.”
      One even blasted: “Pope almost killed Djenepo,” while a final user slammed: “What was Nick Pope doing there? Absolutely flattened Djenepo.”
      But another replied: “Fantastic, brave goalkeeping. Unfortunate for Djenepo, hopefully he is okay.”
      And a Toon supporter commented: “Pope is entitled to go for the ball and gets there first. His momentum carries him through and I’d ask you where is he meant to go?
      “This is football, not Harry Potter – he can’t just magically disappear.”
      VAR-Y DRAMATIC
      The Pope-Djenepo incident was the second big decision for Attwell in the first half on the south coast.
      Earlier on, he chalked off Joelinton’s volleyed opener because he deemed the ball brushed off the Brazilian’s arm before he fired into the back of the net.
      VAR took a look at the replays but could not find a conclusive angle to confirm there was no infringement.
      But Andre Marriner did intervene to rule Armstrong’s bundled finish out because the ball clearly did bounce off his arm and then his knee before rolling in – just minutes after Joelinton blazed a horror miss over but then tapped in the opener from point-blank range.

      That proved to be the only goal of the first leg as Duje Caleta-Car was sent off for a second yellow after blatantly tripping Allan Saint-Maximin.
      It means the Toon will take an all-important 1-0 lead back to St James’ Park next week with a place in February’s Wembley final up for grabs.

      That result may well have dashed United’s hopes of ending their ten-year wait to win the Premier League as they now sit 11 points behind the high-flying Gunners, who also have a game in hand.
      But now attention switches away from league action for the next three matches.
      United take on Nottingham Forest in their two-legged Carabao Cup semi-final, either side of a home FA Cup clash with Reading on Saturday.

      And Rashford stumped up a cool £280,000 for his McLaren 765 Long Tail – one of two luxury motors he had delivered over Christmas.
