Walcott picked up Walker Peters’ pass and made Ederson dive to save, then Walker Peters crossed for Che Adams who couldn’t get enough purchase on his tap back into the box. Then, most significantly, Southampton were convinced Ruben Dias’ foot was too high as Danny Ings tried to pounce on Walcott’s cross. Dean was not interested. Nor was VAR. Disappointingly for the 2, 000 Saints fans in the stadium, that was Ings’ last contribution.
The Belgian’s cross was exquisitely delivered to allow Raheem Sterling to steer past Alex McCarthy. Normal service appeared to have resumed. Southampton, though, are no pushovers. Driven on by Ralph Hasenhuttl’s bellowed instruction from the technical area, they swarmed over City. Oriol Romeu was snapping in midfield, Theo Walcott barrelling down the right wing, Kyle Walker-Peters constantly adding to the attacking numbers. And then there was James Ward Prowse’s crossing. As good as anyone in the Premier League in his set-piece delivery, the Southampton captain could land a ball on one of referee Mike Dean’s yellow cards before he even had the chance to flourish it. And here he was constantly firing fizzing centres into the visitors’ area. How Southampton tried to counter City’s opener.
Southampton were not to be quietened, however. A brilliant run by Walker-Peters sent away the substitute Nathan Tella whose cross Adams, under pressure from Kyle Walker, could not send goalwards. It was typical of City’s defensive work. However hard Southampton pressed, there always seemed to be someone in white to intercept. Mostly it was John Stones, a player who, like Walcott, seems to have rediscovered his purpose. Here was the intriguing sight of the proper centre back we had long assumed was lurking within.
Manchester City edge game of fine margins against Southampton thanks to Raheem SterlingThe Manchester City crisis appears to be on the wane. Raheem Sterling’s first half goal was enough to ensure they moved, albeit temporarily, into fifth place in the Premier League. For Pep Guardiola, things are looking up. “We know how good they are, ” a delighted City manager said of Southampton. “So this feels so, so good. ” His team took the field at Southampton oddly decked out like Tottenham Hotspur. Quite why they needed to change kit given there was no clash between their traditional light blue and Southampton’s red perhaps only their marketing department can tell us. Maybe, after the worst start to a season in his managerial career, Guardiola was hoping that adopting Tottenham’s colours might make his team play with the verve and swoop Jose Mourinho’s players had displayed at St Mary’s earlier in the season.
Indeed, his sure-footed excellence was largely the reason City emerged with three points. “He has turned his situation perfectly, ” said Guardiola of Stones. “He was himself, he shows his personality with or without the ball, we are delighted because he is an especially nice person. Now he has to continue.

“The only thing we missed in our game today were goals. It is always interesting to play against Pep and this was really enjoyable. ” Indeed it was, though in truth City had their chances to make this a far less nerve-racking afternoon for Guardiola. But first Fernan Torres fired wide, then De Bruyne put a presentable opportunity into McCarthy’s midriff, before Gundogan made the Southampton keeper leap to touch away a fine shot. The City manager, looking for someone to apply a finishing touch, decided to send on Riyad Mahrez, dispatching him on to the pitch after an extraordinarily impassioned, close up pep talk.

His recently repaired knee crumpled just before half time when he was replaced by Nathan Tella. His absence was underlined when another of Hasenhuttl’s substitutes, Nathan Redmond, performed a complex air shot to miss Walcott’s shrewd lay off and then let another pass skid under his boots as Southampton looked to break. Walcott, who seems to have been given a new lease of life on his return to his first club, was everywhere, at one point belting back to dispossess a dallying Ilkay Gundogan. He then bore down on the City backline, feeding Romeu who spooned a shot wide. “We underlined why we were top four before this game, ” said Hasenhuttl.
