After struggling to find form for much of the first half of the 2014/2015 season, Dutch international Robin van Persie has been in brilliant form in recent weeks, he put some icing to that as he scored a brace last night to brace Manchester United to a much needed victory over Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium.
The in-form Dutchman also broke into an elite list last night as he became the tenth all-time leading goal scorer in Premier League history. The former Arsenal captain scored twice as Manchester United won 2-1 at Southampton to continue their recent resurgence and climb to third in the Premier League on Monday.

The 31 year old, scored in both nets as United, who were distinctly second best for much of the game, secured their fifth successive Premier League victory.
Graziano Pelle ended a personal goal drought dating back to October by equalising but Southampton have now lost three successive Premier League games and are without a league victory since a 1-0 victory against struggling Leicester City on November 8.
Manchester United have 28 points, five behind rivals Man City in second and eight less than leaders Chelsea while Southampton have dropped to fifth on 26 points, one point behind fourth-placed West Ham United.
