MATCH REPORT
Still trying to make sense of what was an absolutely frantic game? Here's our in-depth match report, which may be some help.
CITY DENIED A 13TH STRAIGHT WIN
Manchester City have failed to win a game for the first time since October. Despite a flurry of late chances, the league leaders have to settle for a point at St Mary's.
FORSTER KEEPS OUT DE BRUYNE!
This is so, so tense now. City have a corner, but waste it.
SAINTS ON THE ATTACK
The hosts make an increasingly rare foray forwards, Lyanco overlapping on the right only to see his cross blocked.
CITY SQUANDER FREE KICK
... with a half-chance for Rodri the best they can muster.
ELYOUNOUSSI BOOKED
... for hauling down De Bruyne. Could this be City's chance to win it?
Yellow card
M. Elyounoussi
LYANCO WITH A VITAL BLOCK
... to deny Grealish at the cost of a corner. De Bruyne is next to have a go, lashing one off target from distance.
ANOTHER SAINTS SUBSTITUTION
... with Diallo coming on for Armstrong, who leaves the field rather sheepishly.

VAR CHECK FOR POSSIBLE RED CARD
Armstrong catches Laporte high on the thigh with his studs showing and receives a booking, but it could get worse for him. Southampton are on the right side of the decision once again, with no red card forthcoming.
Yellow card
S. Armstrong
NO PENALTY!
VAR decides against awarding a spot kick. That'll be a talking point after the match, no doubt.
VAR CHECK FOR POSSIBLE PENALTY
De Bruyne goes down under pressure from Salisu and Romeu on the edge of the box. It would be an unfortunate way to decide this game, but VAR is checking it.
FORSTER DENIES JESUS!
Having latched onto a cross at the far post, Jesus looks certain to score only for Forster to get across and throw his body in the way.
BEDNAREK OFF, LYANCO ON
... with Hasenhuttl looking to shore up his creaking defence.

Lyanco

DE BRUYNE HITS THE POST!
Never, ever give De Bruyne space to shoot on the edge of the area. He curls a shot onto the far post from 20 yards, rattling Southampton's nerves as well as their goal frame.
CITY BOMBARD THE BOX
The visitors win a corner and play it short, with Cancelo seeing a shot blocked on the edge of the area. City recycle the ball and Foden gets a shot away in a mass of bodies, but Salisu gets in the way and blocks it with his face.
CITY SMELL BLOOD
Foden charges down the left wing and lofts a cross into the box which is just a little too high for Jesus. Southampton need to regroup, and fast, or they are going to be overrun here.
GOAL!
Adams gives away a free kick and De Bruyne steps up, swinging a delivery to the far post where Laporte is waiting to head home. City are level.
Goal
A. Laporte
GUARDIOLA MAKES A CHANGE
... bringing off Sterling for Gabriel Jesus in an attempt to sharpen up City's attack. Just beforehand, Rodri had gone within inches of an equaliser from long range.

FODEN GOES CLOSE!
Foden smashes one on target, but it's straight at Forster. He stands strong to preserve his clean sheet.
BROJA DENIED!
Armstrong plays Broja in behind and he goes one-on-one with Ederson, but the City keeper and Laporte combine to keep the score at 1-0. From the ensuing corner, Broja almost scores again only for Hooper to award a foul for an innocuous challenge on Ederson in the air.
