Southampton handed Manchester City their third consecutive away defeat on Sunday night after a 1-0 loss at the St. Mary's Stadium.

Che Adams' sublime finish from 40 yards, looping the ball over a stranded City goalkeeper Ederson to give his side the lead in the 16th minute gave the home side the lead.

City's firepower of 25 shots and dominance of 74% proved abortive as the Saints held the forth to deny the away team.

The Citizens were denied time and again by Saints’ stopper Alex McCarthy, the woodwork when McCarthy was beaten, and some heroic Saints defending.

Guardiola's men are now eight points off third-placed Leicester City while the hosts move up to 13th on the Premier League table.
