After Manchester City derby won 6-3 and Champions League won 5-0, Manchester City ushered in the 10th round of the Premier League against Southampton . With Manchester City's current state, the outcome of this game is actually not very suspenseful, but since this round of Arsenal will face Liverpool at home, Manchester City must show its attitude to the familiar leader position.
Faced with almost invincible Manchester City, Southampton played quite aggressively in this game, and implemented high-pressures from the beginning, and there was no intention of retreating in the whole game. At the same time, two central defenders above 190 have firmly locked the activity space of Haaland .
To be honest, Southampton's tactics theoretically have no problem. However, the horror of Manchester City now is that even if Haaland is limited to 65 minutes to score, it is already 3 goals behind in 49 minutes, which means that what Southampton has done is futile. With the belated goals of Cancelo , Foden , Mahrez, and Haaland, Manchester City won another 4-0 victory.
