'Thanks for the souvenir': Aymeric Laporte shows off a nasty gash from Stuart Armstrong's tackle in Man City's draw at Southampton as Souness and Richards insist Scot was 'lucky' to escape a red

Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte saw the funny side of things despite picking up a gruesome looking gash in the draw with Southampton.

City's 12-game winning streak was brought to an end by the Saints after Laporte cancelled out Kyle Walker-Peters seventh minute opener.

The Frenchman was involved in a controversial moment when he was brought down by Stuart Armstrong's high foot in the second-half.

Following a lengthy VAR check, it was deemed that Armstrong's studs-up challenge was not worthy of a sending off and he instead got away with just a booking.
