Goaaaaaal!

    HT: Man C 3-1 Saints!! Half-time at the Etihad and the scoreline flatters City. City took the lead through KDB against the run of play, but JWP levelled with a penalty after Laporte fouled Vestergaard. City had a clear pen for a foul on Foden turned down, but Mahrez and Gundogan struck before HT to give Saints a tall order. It's been much closer than the scoreline suggests though. Back soon!
Goaaaaaal!
de Manchester City en el 45'
  • 45'
    45+3: Gundogan makes it 3-1!! KDB passes the ball to Mahrez, he goes one way and then the other, his shot is tipped onto the post and then Gundogan scores the follow up!

    Three added minutes.
  • 45'
    B Silva tries to keep the ball in play and he does so, but falls over in the process.
  • 43'
    Offside is given against the Saints.
  • 41'
    What Adams did there was absolutely criminal...
Goaaaaaal!
de Manchester City en el 40'
  • 40'
    Mahrez makes it 2-1 to City!! Saints lose the ball after an outrageous lateral pass by Adams, he gives it straight to Mahrez, who controls and shoots home from inside the D.
  • 38'
    Djenepo is getting treatment on his leg now.
  • 37'
    Djenepo!!! City lose the ball stupidly, Adams gets the ball and passes to Djenepo who shoots wide under pressure. He seems to have pulled something as well.
  • 36'
    More replays of the penalty incident and it's difficult to understand how the spot kick hasn't been given.
  • 36'
    JWP hits the free-kick over the bar.
  • 34'
    Free-kick to the Saints just outside the box.
  • 33'
    JWP!!! He hits from 30 yards and Ederson has to tip the curling effort over for a corner!
  • 32'
    Play continued and City got a corner. "Won the ball" is heard over the pitchside mics. I don't agree with that. It looked like Foden touched the ball and the GK only got the man...
  • 31'
    Howler by McCarthy after he takes a heavy touch, the GK then catches Foden and nothing of the ball, but Moss says no. VAR checks and says no pen!!
  • 30'
    Saints attack again, but City clear the danger. It's a good, competitive game.
  • 28'
    City go forward through Zinchenko, the shot is blocked and then Fernandinho blazes over.
  • 25'
    City had just started to take control and then Saints level! On the balance of play, it's fair.
Goaaaaal from a penalty!
de Southampton en el 25'
  • 25'
    JWP scores!!! He hits it down the middle, Ederson dives to his right and can't stop it! 1-1.
  • 24'
    Penalty to the Saints!!! JWP's corner is headed by Vestergaard, it's saved and then Laporte pulls back Vestergaard. Jon Moss has no doubts. I think it's a bit dicey, but it won't be overturned.
  • 23'
    Chance for Redmond! The Saints man has a shot and it's well saved by Ederson for a corner.
  • 22'
    KDB runs into the box and wants a penalty, but the ref says no. Not for me.
  • 20'
    Man C are dominating proceedings here now. The goal has changed everything.
  • 18'
    Man C go again through KDB, the pass finds B Silva in the box, but he takes a poor touch and it's cleared.
  • 16'
    City have done absolutely nothing going forward, but that's what great teams do. They get a chance and they take it.
Goaaaaaal!
de Manchester City en el 15'
  • 15'

  • 12'
    Fernandinho fouls Adams and is not at all happy with the decision. I think he's a bit unlucky there.
  • 12'
    69% possession for the Saints up to now.
  • 10'
    A long ball forward by Vestergaard is too strong for Bertrand and it's a goal kick.
  • 9'
    There haven't been any many chances up to now, but it's a slow start by Guardiola's side.
  • 7'
    Armstrong passes to Djenepo, he looks to lay off to a teammate just outside the area and a defender cuts it out. The visitors have started well here.
  • 5'
    City deal with the corner very easily.
  • 4'
    Saints go down the far side through Armstrong, his cross hits Laporte and goes out for a corner. It hits his arm, but he has it by his side.
  • 3'
    A misplaced pass by Walker sees the ball go out for a Southampton throw.
  • 1'
    Saints send a long ball forward and Bertrand is penalised for a foul.
  • 1'
    Saints get us going from right to left in the red and white! City in Sky Blue.
