Southampton 2-0 Man City

72 mins: Brave! Rodri kick starts a Manchester City counter-attakc with a curling pass over to Julian Alvarez on the left wing. Alvarez comes inside and threads the ball over to Kevin De Bruyne on the opposite side of the pitch.

De Bruyne carries it into the box and looks to slide a pass into Erling Haaland but Gavin Bazunu leaps across the six-yard area and smothers the ball before it reaches the forward.

69 mins: Phil Foden drifts into space on the left wing and crosses the ball into the box for Erling Haaland. Haaland has to stretch to reach the ball and scissor kicks his effort over the crossbar.

Southampton 2-0 Man City

66 mins: Nearly! A poorly weighted pass up towards Erling Haaland is intercepted and dinked over to Che Adams who floats into the left side of the box before chipping a cross over to Kyle Walker-Peters.

He shimmies into space after chesting down the ball but pulls his right-footed effort wide of the back post and Adams is in an offside position so can’t turn it home.
