City are finally finding their feet as the Etihad finally comes alive. The atmosphere in the first half was dismal, but the goal from the subsitute has injected energy into the stadium.
The home side are continuing to ask questions of Puel's men, who are in desperate need to step it up a gear or two if they want anything from this fixture.
62 MINS
Virgil is receiving treatment on the pitch. Looks like he should be fine to play on.
75 MINS
What a chance. Austin should have done better.
He is inside of the box with a clear sight of goal, but fires the strike straight into the path of Bravo.
78 MINS
SUBSTITUTION
Kompany is replaced by Navas.
An attacking substitution from Pep.
84 MINS
Aguero goes alone and breaks through the Southampton defence, but he looks up at the goal and drives the ball wide. It's an anti-climatic strike to an impressive run.
He had options, but didn't use them.
89 MINS
SUBSTITUTION
Sane is replaced by Nolito.
Has he been given enough time to make an impact? Well, there' s a minimum of 5 minutes additional time.
