Che Adams ended his expectation of a main league purpose with a long-range attack to watch Southampton win 1-0 against Manchester City.
(More news)
Adams made his 25th appearance in the top-rated Saints since signing for 15 million pounds just over a year ago, but chose the right time to break his duck.
City rested Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden, among others, after crushing champion Liverpool mid-week and losing fluency from the start at St Mary’s, Adams’ magnificent finale preceded a wave of opportunities for Pep Guardiola’s men.
Goalkeeper Alex McCarthy, however, in good shape and the hosts were willing to give City their ninth league defeat of the season and the third consecutive away.
The second-placed team had to pay for his sloppy start when Stuart Armstrong stole Oleksandr Zinchenko’s property midway through the race and the ball ran to Adams, goalless since April 2019, to sweep a very good 40-yard effort over Ederson and enter. a huge network.
Pressure then intensified on Southampton’s goal, where McCarthy saw Gabriel Jesus fail closely before he got to work.
In a frenzy, McCarthy stopped Raheem Sterling, swooped after a shot from Fernandinho that bounced off the pole, and then stood again in front of David Silva’s brilliant header.
Riyad Mahrez then spotted the assured goalie blocking his path, before a stretched Danny Ings flew by when he could have doubled the Saints’ lead just before the break.
McCarthy returned to work after halftime, holding Jesus’ headbutt and then suffocating Silva after an exact pass from Zinchenko.
De Bruyne and Foden temporarily arrived from the bank, however, Mahrez and Sterling’s withdrawals only to damage the extra City and Ederson had to avoid an Explosion by Armstrong when his appearance stuttered to a wonderful loss despite the application of a lot of past pressure.
What does that mean? Key city men
The 20 Premier League groups are adjusting to a tight schedule that ensures that several star players want to rest normally. This time it’s City De Bruyne and Foden’s turn.
But with Sergio Aguero also out of the injury, City lacked an advantage in the last third. Guardiola hopes to have all 3 in shape and tie until the end of the Champions League.
McCarthy makes peace
In Southampton’s last home game, his hopes of beating Arsenal were hampered by a flawed McCarthy mistake that allowed Eddie Nketiah to score the first game. Sunday’s doorman’s demonstration made this mistake temporarily possible.
While the power of the hosts’ outdoor players created attack opportunities, they were grateful to McCarthy for the after-save backups to keep the City at bay.
Defensive difficulties
Many have pointed to weaknesses in the center of the city’s baseline as the main cause of the failure of the defense of its name, but Aymeric Laporte has sometimes turned away from criticism.
The Frenchman was unusually shaky on the south coast, throwing himself into two poorly synchronized clearings, while his wife Eric Garcia almost played Adams to score midway through the period of the moment.
