with a stunning long-range strike as they beat Manchester City 1-0 to condemn Pep Guardiola’s side to a third successive away loss in the Premier League.
Pep Guardiola made six changes from the side that beat Liverpool 4-0 in midweek, giving a rest to Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden.
The Saints had been in decent form of late and began in positive fashion, pressing high up the pitch, something City are not used to when facing opponents in the lower half of the table.
The relentless bombardment from City came in wave after wave but Southampton kept their defensive shape solid and heads ice cold. Guardiola sent on Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden to try and find the equaliser.
But Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men stood firm, clearing everything in their path and swarming the box every time Silva and Jesus combined as they held out for a well-earned victory over Guardiola’s men, who have now lost three in a row away from home.
