Something unusual in the City, which usually puts the games on track. But Sohthampton, with a great action, took the lead after seven minutes. It was on a run started down the right wing by Kyle Walker-Peters, who passed the ball to Nathan Redmond and he returned it. The winger executed a powerful shot that surprised the Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson.
Manchester City got down to work to turn the situation around. He had absolute dominance, but Southampton did not break down. Nor did he suffer excessively. He waited and waited for any occasion to score on the counterattack. He tried a couple of times. After the break the dynamics continued. The local team was able to extend its advantage with a shot from a post by the Albanian Amando Broja.
The Polish Jan Bednarek picked up the rebound, in the mouth of the goal, but he finished off very badly and threw the ball very high. From there, in the final half hour, it was City that accelerated. The pace increased and Southampton suffered. Time seemed eternal.

Hasenhuttl’s set was found more comfortable and survived. The leader’s visit ended with a point. Guardiola’s team is twelve points ahead of Liverpool, who have two games in hand and will face Crystal Palace on Sunday.
