Claude Puel's puzzling moves hurt Southampton in 3-0 loss to Man City

This is a modal window.

Claude Puel is disappointed with his team because he knows they're capable of more than they showed against Man City.

Southampton's four-match unbeaten run came to a shuddering halt as they were beaten 3-0 by Manchester City at the St Mary's Stadium.

Claude Puel's men held their own until half-time, but second-half strikes from City captain Vincent Kompany, Leroy Sane and Sergio Aguero all but ended their hopes of launching a late-season European charge.

Positives

Not too many teams could have lived with the way City counter-attacked in the second half.
