WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Man City frustrated by Southampton in rare stalemate

Manchester City were unable to convert dominant possession into goals as they were held to a goalless draw by Southampton.

The home side controlled much of the first half and came closest to scoring through Ilkay Gundogan and Raheem Sterling.

Southampton were awarded a penalty on 61 minutes, when Kyle Walker was adjudged to have fouled Adam Armstrong, for which he was shown a red card.

However, both decisions were overturned after a review by referee Jonathan Moss.

City thought they had a stoppage-time winner when Phil Foden's saved header, their only shot on target throughout the match, was converted by Sterling on the rebound.

But Sterling was found to have been offside

A first draw in 31 league matches puts Man City second on 10 points, while Southampton, still awaiting a first win, drop to 15th with four points.
