Raheem Sterling received a cross from Kevin De Bruyne early, and they remained after consecutive league draws.
Southampton entered the third game in qualifying after a loss in his last 11 games.

However, when the opportunity arose, the City was clinical when Sterling controlled a good De Bruyne center in the minute.

But Southampton’s task became more complicated after Danny Ings, who scored seven goals this season, was sent off just before halftime.
