MAN CITY HELD BY SOUTHAMPTON

Manchester City returned to the top of the Premier League with a 1-1 draw at home to Southampton on Sunday but the performance again raised questions over the title credentials of Pep Guardiola’s team. The stalemate was a fifth consecutive game without a victory for City, as Kelechi Iheanacho’s eighth goal in his last 11 league games cancelled out Nathan Redmond’s first-half opener for Southampton. “We have to analyse what is the situation,” Guardiola told the BBC. “In the period, apart from at White Hart Lane against Tottenham (losing 2-0) it’s been good.”
