Southampton 1-3 Manchester City: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Citizens Get Back to Winning Ways

Manchester City brought their losing streak to an end with a comfortable 3-1 win over Southampton on Sunday afternoon.

After both sides spurned some decent opportunities during the opening exchanges, it was the visitors who opened the scoring on the ten minute mark through David Silva. Bernardo Silva bombed down the right flank before laying the ball on a plate for his namesake, who stroked the ball home with aplomb.

Southampton responded well to going behind and, after surviving a period of City dominance, they were able to find an equaliser ten minutes before half-time. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg capitalised on some sloppy play from Oleksandr Zinchenko, drove forward with the ball and thundered it into the roof of the net.
