Having to travel to Southampton’s field, Coach Guardiola fielded a very strong squad with the trio of Mahrez, Sterling and Aguero playing highest in attack.
Entering the match, Man City applied an all-out attack strategy, completely overwhelming the home team.
It was thought that the first half would end with 2 goals divided equally between both sides, but Sterling broke the situation when he put the ball at the feet of Ward-Prowse and flew into McCarthy’s net at the end of the first half.
In the second half, Guardiola directed his players to actively play in control of the ball to stretch the home team’s multi-layered defense.
In the final minutes of the match, Man City accelerated in search of more goals.
This result helped Man City surpass Tottenham, rising to 2nd place in the rankings with 47 points.
