The first was Manchester United beating Ipswich Town at Old Trafford on 4 March 1995, the second being Leicester City beating Southampton at St Mary's Stadium on 25 October 2019 (which stands as not only a joint Premier League record, but also an all-time record away win in the English football's top tier), the third being Manchester United beating Southampton on 2 February 2021, also at Old Trafford.
