Manchester City are being made to pay for their failure to sign a new striker in the title race, according to Tony Cascarino, after they fired a blank in their 0-0 draw against Southampton on Saturday.
Pep Guardiola's men have had a stuttering start to the campaign so far, losing on the opening day to Tottenham before winning three in a row but seeing their run halted by the Saints at the Etihad.
City were interested in signing Spurs forward Harry Kane all summer long but a deal failed to materialise, with the Londoners holding out for around £150m, and the England skipper pledged his allegiance to the club for the remainder of the season.
