Erling Haaland
Manchester City
Tooor for Manchester City, 0-1 through
But the goal falls on the other side! Grealish gives the free left wing from the back. De Bruyne circles perfectly from 18 meters with his right hand on goal. Gündoğan and Haaland walk in together seven meters from the goal and can decide among themselves who will score the goal. In the end it is Haaland who presses his forehead into the left corner.
44
19:15
Sulemana left in the penalty area with a flat flick. Just over to the right.
41
19:13
Haaland again, this time it’s close! A deflected cross falls off the far post. One meter in front of the goal, the attacker pushes past the goal on the right. Because the city fans had already seen it inside, there was a sneering reaction from the home block.
40
19:11
Haaland in sight for the first time! On the left, de Bruyne passed the Norwegian up the run at the center line, but he failed to take the falling ball with him. With perfect technique, that would have been a one-on-one.
39
19:10
Even if they don’t have a lot of possession, Rubén Sellés’ team always tries to play and play on a low level.
36
19:07
John Stones
Manchester City
Yellow card for John Stones (Manchester City)
Another of the many fouls involves the yellow card because Stones tightens the scissors against Walcott.
34
19:05
Due to many smaller fouls, it is now very disorganized.
31
19:02
City demands a penalty! Grealish lobs the ball to Ward-Prowse’s hanging arm. The whistle is completely right.
30
19:01
The outcry in the stadium was all the more enthusiastic when Sulemana distributed a very cheeky tunnel against Aké on the right wing. The following flank goes behind the other player.
28
18:59
It’s not a bad game as both teams fight for every ball and there’s always fast and low combinations. The actions in front of the penalty areas are now a bit missing.
25
18:56
Jack Grealish remains prone after being involved in a dogfight. This gives Pep Guardiola a brief pause to wave his team over and say a few words.
23
18:54
And so there is only one city chance in the middle of the first half. Southampton are really good in the midfield third.
19
18:51
Sulemana also came into a promising position on the left wing from the game, but before he could move inside, Rúben rushed at Dias with an uncompromising tackle and stole the play equipment.
16
18:48
The third almost leads to a goal! Kamaldeen Sulemana comes into the backcourt between the flat corner kick and pokes him forward. He sprints forward at top speed and can somehow still be pushed to the left by Aké. From 13 meters, however, the ball jumps, so that the strong sprint does not even result in a conclusion.
15
18:46
After a quarter of an hour there are already three corner kicks for the guests due to blocked flanks and shots.
12.
18:43
In the meantime, however, the hosts are withdrawing further. So there are always seven, eight or nine defenders in their own box on City flanks.
8th.
18:39
The players on the home side’s right and Manchester’s left are repeatedly blinded by the setting sun. Grealish missed a cross from the right and lamented. adams
6.
18:37
The guests free themselves but perfectly flat with short passes. So there is a four-on-four situation up front, which Grealish flicks a little loosely into the far corner from ten meters to the left of the penalty area. Bazunu is there.
5.
18:35
City’s short build-up is already started in the penalty area. An offensive positioning of the Saints.
3.
18:34
Southampton boldly gets going. A murmur goes through the stadium for the first time when Alcaraz crosses from the right wing flat behind the defense after a blocked free kick. The sharp cross slips through.
18:27
Pep Guardiola is still satisfied with the win in Liverpool: “Now we’ve had a whole week to prepare for Southampton.” The reason why Erling Haaland is back in the starting XI is that he prefers to replace ailing players rather than substitute them.
18:26
Rubén Sellés talks about the pressure before the game: “We know what the pressure is”. On the other hand, you have to keep the ball and the match plan. It is also important to find the right moments for pressure.
17:50
City, on the other hand, has won seven competitive games in a row. Most recently, they were in a goal mood with a 4-1 win at Liverpool, a 6-0 win against Burnley in the cup and a 7-0 win against Leipzig in the Champions League.
17:48
The games against the top clubs from the last four weeks are encouraging: At Manchester United (0-0) and in the last home game against Tottenham (3-3) you could take a point each. In addition, there were two defeats, most recently at West Ham last weekend (0-1). So you’ve been without a win for four match days.
17:43
Southampton FC, on the other hand, are at the bottom of the table. The gap to the saving bank is four points. But because there are only nine matches left, you would of course also take a point win against the seemingly overpowering Citizens.
17:36
Manchester City beat Arsenal in championship race The gap to the Gunners is currently eight points, but they still have a game in hand. Arsenal also have to travel to Liverpool for the difficult clash tomorrow.
