    Johnny Magrinho: Forget Aguero, Iheanacho has brought Man City to life. The kid deserves a lot more game time. The bright spark in a dull team.

    Fraser Forster's hands are stung again as City's mini-midfielder David Silva powers a shot at the near post. A simple save really, but good hands nevertheless.

    Saints' record signing Sofiane Boufal, who was going to come on moments earlier, finally makes his league debut, replacing Dusan Tadic.

    Fraser Forster makes a great one-handed save to his left to keep out Ilkay Gundogan's effort which was heading for the corner. It was good play from Kelechi Iheanacho, who played a one-two with the German.

    Southampton are on the back foot, City have grown in confidence and are moving the ball well, Kelechi Iheanacho is looking a real threat,

  7. CLOSE!published at 65 mins

    Man City 1-1 Southampton

    Pinball! But no bonus ball.

    The ball pings off players and finally off David Silva in the six-yard area, whose inadvertent final touch just drifts a foot past Fraser Forster's post.

    Nothing comes from the corner, but Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk gets a smack on the head. He seems OK after a swig of water.

    Man City 1-1 Southampton

    In the first half Manchester City struggled to penetrate the Southampton defence and were bogged down in midfield, as this map of their average positions shows.

    But in the second half, with Fernandinho (25) almost making a back four and Leroy Sane (19) switching to the right, they have been much more of a threat.

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 59 mins

    Man City 1-1 Southampton

    A fifth yellow.

    Sergio Aguero is shown yellow for scything down Charlie Austin.

    In all fairness, you cannot really dispute any of the cards handed out by Mark Clattenburg. Well, you can, but you'd be wrong to.

    City looking positive - they have a corner.

    Never mind this tippy-tappy play, Fernandinho has seen the run of Leroy Sane and that is a beautiful ball to him. Kelechi Iheanacho has the desire to get into the box and it is a fantastic finish at the near post.

    We always said Pep Guardiola was a master tactician. We all had confidence in him. Right?

    His HT sub Kelechi Iheanacho bags his fourth goal in seven games by sweeping in Leroy Sane's square ball after the midfielder was found with a brilliant long ball from Fernandinho.

    Moments later, Vincent Kompany goes in the book for a late challenge on Virgil van Dijk.

    Man City 0-1 Southampton

    Yikes!

    Perhaps that should have been a third yellow. Replays have shown that Ilkay Gundogan left his boot in on Oriol Romeu.

    Moments later, the Spaniard is booked for taking down Gundogan.

    Leroy Sane again shows pace and trickery in the area but with no end product.

    Saints clear and find Charlie Austin who is 50 yards out and one-on-one with Aleksandar Kolarov. He pushes the ball past the Serb but is blocked in the process.

    Ref Mark Clattenburg deems that a yellow card offence. That's two so far.

  17. Postpublished at 47 mins

    Man City 0-1 Southampton

    Southampton's Jordy Clasie smacks one from 25 yards but it's wide and extremely high.

    It looks like Pep Guardiola has set up City in an attacking 3-5-2 formation.

    Paul Ginger Gill:If John Stones is worth £47.5million, Virgil Van Dijk is worth £90million!

    Howard Bowden: If John Stones = £50m, Virgil van Dijk = £75m, you'd kinda reckon. 

    Paul and Howard are using the same calculator.
