    Pep Guardiola will surely be grateful that Liverpool have been so imperious this season that it has distracted everyone from one of the most shambolic defences of a title in premier league history.

    Ralph Hasenhuttl obviously has a terrific team spirit. For them to come back from that Leicester defeat, it was proven tonight that they are a close-knit group. It shows that they've got a superb team spirit.

    Naze Nani Paul: Manchester City in a nutshell these last few days. Game doesn’t matter? They’ll turn it on and be amazing. Does the game matter? Too often they go missing. Get a feeling a lot of the players know the ban will be upheld and they want out.

    Pep Guardiola has lost three consecutive away league games for the first time in his managerial career.

    Which is some going.

    What a terrific game Southampton vs Man City has been. Saints, to a man, defending like lions, and the goal was worthy of settling any occasion. Sadly, also sums up City's season; thump the newly crowned league champions one game and then drop points against Saints the next.

    Wow, well done Southampton. Well done, Ralph Hasenhuttl. He set them up to defend second half and they defended like their lives depended on it. The defenders and goalkeeper were superb but Danny Ings and James Ward-Prowse did their bit too. Everyone was brilliant for Southampton.

    Southampton just got their bodies in the way, it was heroic defending.

    It was like it was a cup final for Southampton. Everybody blocked everything, the manager has sprinted on and is going to every one of his players saying well done. The effort and desire to keep the ball out of the box was sensational.

    Manchester City were not at the races.

    City remain eight points above Leicester in second place. No team's an island, but City are in the table.

    It's a lazy kick by Stuart Armstrong. This could be trouble.

    Almost it! Alex McCarthy for once gets it wrong, coming for a cross that wasn't on. He flaps at it, David Silva puts it across goal and it somehow deflects wide.

    Now City win a free-kick about 20 yards out! Central. Stuart Armstrong can't believe it...

    Fantastic defending again. Jan Bednarek and Jack Stephens have been fantastic tonight.
