    Jack Grealish is screaming for a penalty as his cross inside the box strikes James Ward-Prowse's hand. VAR has a look but nothing is given, Ward-Prowse's hand was down low.

    Lovely turn on the right by Kamaldeen Sulemana to get past his marker. He surges towards the box but rushes his cross and it is behind his team-mate inside the area.

    Manchester City had 80% possession in the first 15 minutes of the game but it has been much more even since then.

    The Saints are doubling up on Jack Grealish and he is having less influence having started the game looking dangerous.

    Thinking about the state of Southampton and where they are as a club I do feel as if there is that minuscule part of me that makes me feel hope, Selles is a medium rated manager but I have belief that we can do it.

    Southampton have upped the tempo and forced Manchester City into a bit of a switch as John Stones has moved into a more orthodox right-back position with De Bruyne going alongside Rodri.

    Manchester City are suddenly not finding those gaps that were there in the first 15 minutes of the game and they are struggling now to dominate.

    There's a pause in play as Jack Grealish is down injured after a crunching clash with Jan Bednarek.

    FT: Tottenham 2-1 Brighton

    Brighton & Hove Albion

    Brighton manager Roberto de Zerbi, speaking to MOTD: "We are very disappointed, very frustrated with the result. We have to be proud of this performance. We are not to forget we are Brighton. We deserved to win the game. We improved because we show our quality and our style of play.

    On the VAR decisions that went against his team: "I don't want to put more pressure on the referees. I don't like to discuss them. There were a lot of situations very clear. You can take your opinion about this. My work is to give my players a clear idea of play."

    On his arguments with Spurs interim boss Cristian Stellini: "I am used to always respecting everyone and I want the same to me."

    How many big chances will Southampton get like that. He [Sulemane] still has a lot to do, but he still need to gets the strike away and work the goalkeeper.

    A bit closer now for Southampton as Carlos Alcaraz glances a header just wide.

    Southampton are a bit encouraged by that unexpected chance and the ball is played down the flank for Kamaldeen Sulemana to chase but Rúben Dias gets across to make a great tackle to prevent that becoming something more dangerous.

  12. 'We deserved something from the game'published at 17:49 British Summer Time 8 April 2023

    FT: Brentford 1-2 Newcastle

    Brentford

    Brentford manager Thomas Frank, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I feel for the players. They gave everything. What an effort. We asked them to be aggressive, to win second balls and to take care of the ball. In the first half, wow! Totally on top. Could easily have been 3-0. Missed penalty and narrow offside. That is the fine margins not going our way. In the second half, two moments changed the game. The first where Joelinton makes a good action but is fortunate to get the shot in off David Raya's legs when there was no pass. Then a great finish from Alexander Isak - a £63m striker.

    "It is almost a law of statistics the one day he [Ivan Toney] would miss a penalty. Unfortunately, that happened today. More, I want to praise the mentality and focus and composure. That is second to none. He was a threat throughout the game.

    "We definitely had initiative and energy to come back and get more than a well-deserved draw. We deserved something from the game. It is because we are doing so well that the expectation rises, especially from us. We feel disappointed we got nothing from the game. Sometimes you have to out it into perspective - that we have lost twice at home and went toe to toe with a really good team."

    Oooh a mistake from the Manchester City corner as it is played short and gifted to Kamaldeen Sulemana.

    He charges away with only Nathan Ake back to try and prevent his run on goal. Sulemana gets into the box but an awful touch takes the ball too close to a relieved Ederson.

    What a chance for Southampton.

    Southampton are my team and personally think going down would ruin the club. We’ve been this amazing academy for players who have gone on and made a massive impact for other teams, Sadio Mane, Gareth Bale etc. Would love to see us stay up but think we have come to the point where we have to accept this as a possibility.

    One of those doubled-barrelled names, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, heads behind a Riyad Mahrez cross to give Manchester City their first corner of the game.

    City play it short before Armel Bella-Kotchap heads away a cross, but there's no respite - City just pick up the ball and come forward again.

    When, not if.

    Maitland-Niles, Bella-Kotchap, Walker-Peters, Ward-Prowse and Caleta-Car. Have Southampton broken the record for the number of double-barrelled players in a matchday squad?

    Manchester City keep up the pressure as Kevin de Bruyne clips a ball in from the right but Theo Walcott is back defending to head away that one. It isn't long before City are back in possession, however.
