Pep Guardiola's side climb to the top of the Premier League table, thanks to a slender one-goal victory over Southampton. The goal came inside five minutes through Erling Haaland, and try as they might, Manchester City simply couldn't find the second which would've provided some breathing space. Haaland went close on multiple other occasions while Aaron Ramsdale was called into action to keep his side in it too. At the other end, Southampton's best chance of the second half fell to substitute Adam Armstrong, who fired a shot just over the bar. A display to be encouraged by if you're of a Saints persuasion - how they'll rue Cameron Archer's missed chance on the stroke of half-time. Russell Martin's side remain at the foot of the Premier League table, still with just one point to their name, but they have cause to be optimistic after a valiant effort at the Etihad. City, meanwhile, can sit back and watch as Arsenal and Liverpool - the two sides who came into the weekend immediately below them in the table - prepare to face off at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow.
