And there goes the final whistle. A fantastic win for Southampton as Pochettino secures his first victory as manager, and they were good value for it. City, meanwhile, were very poor and are now in big trouble regards their title bid.
- 94'
Southampton's pressing has generally been excellent tonight, but even as they have tired City have failed to use the extra space they have been afforded.

Maicon tries to play in Aguero but Hooiveld does a sterling job in bringing a halt to the attack.

Five minutes of injury time to be played. Enough for two late City goals?

Talking of Aguero, he has been pretty much anonymous in this second half.

Kolarov with another dangerous ball into the box from the left but it just eludes Aguero.

Mancini is still fuming on the touchline. I suspect he might have a few things to say to his team after this game.
- 84'
Remember, City could be a whopping 12 points behind United if the result stays like this and the Red Devils see off Everton tomorrow.

- 76'
Kolarov gets to the byline and drives a ball across the face of goal but Boruc does excellently to smother the cross, with Toure waiting to pounce.
- 75'
Southampton have been solid in this second half. They need to make sure that they keep that up for the final 15 minutes and do not lose any concentration.
- 73'
