Silva bursts through down the left and it initially looks a promising move. However, the 31-year-old made the wrong decision and his attempted pull back hands Southampton possession.

GOAL

SOUTHAMPTON 0 - 2 MANCHESTER CITY

Sane doubles City's tally from close range, to complete a terrific counter attack. Silva threads the ball through to De Bruyne, who cuts it back across goal for Sane to score. Guardiola will be happy with that one.

GOAL

SOUTHAMPTON 0 - 3 MANCHESTER CITY

Aguero scores the third and surely secures the three points for Guardiola's men. The ball goes wide to Navas, who threads the ball through to De Bruyne, who chips it across for Aguero to head it home.

Rodriguez charges into the Manchester City box, but he quickly goes to ground following a collision with Kompany. The referee does not believe it is a malicious challenge from the centre-back and allows play to continue.

Substitution: Sane is replaced by Sterling.

Boufal picks up the ball in a wide position and attempts to send a cross towards the back post. His delivery is overcooked and it flies out for a goal kick.
