Good evening to you.

0:00:090:00:11

I'm Laura Trant, with the news in the South.

0:00:110:00:14

Five goals and plenty of drama -

0:00:140:00:18

Southampton fans had a tense 90 minutes this evening

0:00:180:00:20

as their team took on Manchester United

0:00:200:00:22

in the League Cup Final.

0:00:220:00:23

But despite their best efforts, Saints failed

0:00:230:00:25

to lift the Cup at Wembley, losing 3-2.

0:00:250:00:27

Our sports editor Tony Husband was there and watched all the action.

0:00:270:00:30

He sent us this report.

0:00:300:00:38

As cup final defeats go, this was about as harsh as you could get.

0:00:380:00:41

Southampton fans saw their side put in an inspired display here in this

0:00:410:00:46

EFL Cup Final and found a new hero in Manolo Gabbiadini.

0:00:460:00:48

But they also found a villain in the assistant referee's flag.

0:00:480:00:55

The march to Wembley began for many at St Mary's -

0:00:550:00:58

thousands of supporters boarding coaches for the capital.

0:00:580:01:02

Olympic Way was red and white, a well-trodden

0:01:020:01:05

path for United fans, a second trip to the new Wembley for Saints.

0:01:050:01:14

In front of 85,000, Claude Puel's side made a terrific start

0:01:140:01:16

and should have taken the lead through Gabbiadini.

0:01:160:01:18

An offside flag went up - incorrectly, it appeared.

0:01:180:01:23

Over the next 30 minutes, Saints' hopes appeared to go up in smoke.

0:01:230:01:26

Zlatan Ibrahimovic used the Wembley stage to show his outstanding

0:01:260:01:29

talent, and he was not done with that.

0:01:290:01:31

Neither were United.

0:01:310:01:34

Lingard put them two up.

0:01:340:01:37

It was harsh on Southampton, but clinical from Jose Mourinho's side.

0:01:370:01:40

Gabbiadini stepped up to bring Claude Puel's men back

0:01:400:01:43

into it just before the break.

0:01:430:01:45

Suddenly there was hope.

0:01:450:01:52

Resurgent Saints said thank you to Gabbiadini again

0:01:520:01:54

as he equalised early in the second half.

0:01:540:01:56

They poured forward, very much in charge.

0:01:560:01:58

Romeu hit the post.

0:01:580:02:00

But with extra time on the horizon, Ibrahimovic pounced again.

0:02:000:02:02

For Southampton, an agonising defeat.

0:02:020:02:05

Every chance that they got, they took, and that is the quality

0:02:050:02:08

they have got in the side.

0:02:080:02:12

But once you get to 2-2, you maybe start to believe

0:02:120:02:15

that we are going to go on and win this.

0:02:150:02:17

But unfortunately it was not meant to be.

0:02:170:02:19

Back in Southampton, fans shared the disappointment.

0:02:190:02:24

We put up a good fight, 3-2, it should maybe have been 3-3.

0:02:240:02:27

But I am happy with that.

0:02:270:02:31

It was heart-stopping, because we just needed that one more

0:02:310:02:34

goal, but we will always support them, they did brilliantly,

0:02:340:02:37

and we are still very proud of them.

0:02:370:02:44

Deflated, yes.

0:02:440:02:45

We should have won, we should have won,

0:02:450:02:47

we were all over Man United, really. We should definitely have won that.

0:02:470:02:50

There is frustration and pride in equal measure

0:02:500:02:52

from Southampton supporters tonight, but for the second time

0:02:520:02:55

in their history they are beaten 3-2 in a League Cup final.

0:02:550:03:00

A petition has been set up calling for a pedestrian crossing

0:03:040:03:09

at a Swindon junction where a woman died this week.

0:03:090:03:11

The 32-year-old from North Swindon died

0:03:110:03:15

after being hit by a road-sweeper outside Arkells Brewery

0:03:150:03:17

on Beechcroft Road on Thursday afternoon.

0:03:170:03:20

It happened as she was on her way to collect her child from a minder.

0:03:200:03:23

Now over a thousand people have signed an online petition calling

0:03:230:03:26

for a pedestrian crossing.

0:03:260:03:29

A group of squatters who've been living in a former car showroom

0:03:290:03:32

in Oxford have less than 24 hours to find somewhere else to live.

0:03:320:03:35

20 people have been using the unofficial shelter

0:03:350:03:37

at the site on Ifley Road since New Year's Eve.

0:03:370:03:43

But it's owned by Wadham College, who say the squatters must

0:03:430:03:45

go by 10am tomorrow.

0:03:460:03:48

The group have appealed on social media for help.

0:03:480:03:54

Time for

0:03:550:03:55

Time for the

0:03:550:03:55

Time for the weather.

0:03:550:03:56

Hello. We have got some heavy

0:04:020:04:03

showers in the forecast

0:04:030:04:05

for the next couple of days, some rain clearing out

0:04:050:04:07

of the way tonight.

0:04:070:04:09

Some dry and clear weather for at time.

0:04:090:04:11

Temperatures locally will drop down to around five or six Celsius.

0:04:110:04:13

A bit of a cooler start tomorrow and then we have got these

0:04:130:04:16

heavy showers arriving.

0:04:170:04:21

There is a risk of hail and thunder with these showers,

0:04:210:04:24

turning a touch wintry forehead time across high ground.

0:04:240:04:27

Some sunshine in between, quite breezy and cool day

0:04:270:04:29

tomorrow, highs of 7-9 C.

0:04:290:04:31

A few showers will continue on Tuesday.

0:04:310:04:33

They will be some sunshine as well be for some rain and some less cold

0:04:330:04:37

air arrives on Wednesday.

0:04:370:04:38

That's all from us this evening.
