Manchester City recorded one shot on target, Phil Foden's header as the clock struck 90, so Pep Guardiola placed the blame for this goalless draw on his defenders in a way that only he can. The back four and Fernandinho, to be exact.
Guardiola did not care for the sloppiness in possession when building from their own third and Southampton, excellent throughout and unfortunate to see a penalty award overturned by VAR, were confident in nullifying threats at a pace to suit them.
Guardiola could not and would not say it but Harry Kane wins City this game — probably by meeting one of their 24 crosses.
