Manchester City vs Southampton did not go as expected, as Pep Guardiola’s reigning champions were held at home by a spirited Saints outfit.
After controversially calling for more fans to turn up the Etihad Stadium for this game, they did but Guardiola’s side were second-best for large chunks. Ralph Hasenhuttl’s Southampton were well-drilled and dangerous on the break as they were awarded a penalty kick in the second half but VAR overturned it.

The draw means that City are now three points off Liverpool at the top of the table, as they’ve won three of their first five games of the season.

However, they had just one shot on target against Southampton. As for the Saints they have drawn four of their first five games and after being handed a tough start to the season with their schedule, they will take that return.
