Manchester City secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Southampton in the Premier League, following their confident Champions League win against Sparta Prague. Despite dominating the game, City struggled to finish their chances and relied on an early goal from Erling Haaland to secure the win. Guardiola made changes to the midfield, opting for Mateo Kovacic over Ilkay Gundogan, which seemed to improve the team’s balance. Phil Foden also played a key role in the midfield, showing his versatility and creativity in the team’s attacking play.
Matheus Nunes, given a starting opportunity, delivered a standout performance with an assist and a goal in two consecutive games, proving himself as a potential game-changer for Guardiola. Haaland, while already prolific in goal-scoring, may need to work on his heading ability as City improve in creating chances from set-pieces.
