Sterling's goal turned in by a deflection, so Laporte's own goal just about the fair result for a determined Saints performance in the first half. Always said City is suspect in defence especially with long balls forcing them to play aerial clearances, and with set pieces. Just wish Southampton would have gone in with more crossing but midfield was always going to be chasing City's.
Great second half, love the tempo... but then Saints give away a cheap pen, Forster almost saved it too bleh. Switching off now, real life beckons. Hope to see a nice surprise when I check in later this evening. Go, Che Adams!
Manchester city are on fire after beating Southampton 4-1 at the St.Mary's stadium. Raheem Sterling gave city an early goal lead in the 12th minutes of the game, later on Laporte scored an own goal in the stoppage time of first half to make it a 1-1 draw. Though more goals came in the second half of the game, when Kelvin Debruyne scored a penalty in 62th minutes which was nearly saved by Forster. Then between the space of 3 minutes, from 75th and 78th minutes, Southampton conceded 2 goals, Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez absolutely intruded their opposition defence with goals. Manchester city has qualify for the semi finals of the FA Cup, bad news for Southampton who conceded 4 goals at home.
