After a series of 12 victories, the Manchester City team dropped points against Southampton away 1: 1 (1: 0) within the 23rd round of the Premier League.
Pep Guardiola’s team is again marching towards the Premier League trophy, and they have tied a series of victories in which they looked untouchable, but Ralph Hassenhitl knows something that other managers in England do not know, so for the second time this season he managed to cut points for Manchester City .
Songs were heard in St. Mary’s in the seventh minute when Nathan Redmond selflessly hired Kyle Walker-Peters, who sent the ball to the left side of the net to lead Southampton and his first goal in the Premier League.
Only 15 minutes later, the Southampton team shook Ederson’s net again, but Armando Broja’s goal was annulled due to a millimeter offside.
In the second half, Manchester City increased the tempo, pushed on the ropes of the hosts, but Rodri, Foden and Sterling were inaccurate.
A well-deserved equalizer came in the 65th minute when Kevin De Bruyne’s cross shot was turned into a goal by Aymeric Laporte. After a free kick, the Frenchman hit his head for 1: 1.
Southampton defended well in the continuation of the game and managed to resist Guardiola’s team, which lacked that final blow, so the result on the scoreboard remained unchanged.
The citizens still have a convincing advantage in the first position with 57 points won, but Liverpool has two games less and in case Jurgen Klopp’s team triumphs in both matches, they will be only six points behind the leaders.
