Manchester City returned to the top of
the Premier League on goal difference after coming from behind to draw
1-1 with Southampton at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola’s side, who began the
season with 10 straight victories, have now gone five games without a
win in all competitions, equalling the Spaniard’s worst run as a manager
when he was at Barcelona.
It could have been even worse for City
after they gifted Southampton the lead when a wayward pass from John
Stones put Nathan Redmond in on goal after 27 minutes.
Moments later Stones thought he had
atoned by bundling the ball into the net but his goal was disallowed for
a Sergio Aguero offside.
Guardiola reacted to the poor first half
by replacing Kevin De Bruyne with Kelechi Iheanacho, who made an
immediate impact by scoring from close range after Fernandinho found
Leroy Sane with an exquisite crossfield pass.
