The 26-year-old was delighted to have made an immediate impact for his new club but refused to hoard all the credit for the win for himself
Southampton striker Charlie Austin said the feeling of scoring the goal that sunk Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford in a dream debut "doesn't get any better".
A dour encounter appeared to be heading for a predictable stalemate before Austin entered the fray, coming on as a 79th-minute substitute for Sadio Mane.
The former QPR and Burnley man then drew a foul from United replacement Adnan Januzaj and planted home a header from the resulting 87th-minute free-kick.
Repeating last season's single-goal triumph at United lifts Southampton up to eighth in the table on the back of a three-match winning run, and Austin was understandably jubilant.
"It doesn't get any better than that," the 26-year-old told Sky Sports. "I've come on and I think it was my second touch – right place, right time and I've put the ball in the net.
"To get my debut goal, I'm delighted and I'm happy for the lads because they put in a great effort for 80 minutes before I came on.
"They defended superbly from back to front. Our back five were superb.
"Our aim is a top-10 finish to get to where we did last season. That's three wins on the bounce so hopefully we can continue on this run."
Austin had just arrived from Championship side QPR earlier this month
