As a Southampton fan it was gut-wrenching. Ninety-plus minutes of sheer hard-work, determination and organisation, only to be defeated by a moment of simply undeniable class.
But after taking a step back from the drama of it all, I could see that it was a fantastic battle between two sides with two entirely different approaches.
Southampton could walk off that pitch with their heads held high, despite City leaving as the deserved winners.
But following the post match press conferences, the game had suddenly been given a whole new narrative, as Pep Guardiola proceeded to blast Southampton for their negative tactics and time-wasting.
