- Published
Southampton were beaten at Manchester City, as most people expected.
They are bottom of the Premier League, with a single point from their first nine games of the season.
Manager Russell Martin is under pressure, despite guiding Saints back to the top flight only five months ago.
But a strange thing happened at Etihad Stadium.
Speaking to the media after Saturday's match, both managers heaped praise on the beaten team.
It was not so much that they were unlucky to lose.
