Southampton 1-0 Manchester City: Adams stunner gives a victory to the Saints

Southampton protected an early lead with the help of a string of Alex McCarthy saves as Manchester City were beaten astonishingly.


MATCH REPORTS

Che Adams ended his wait for a first Premier League goal with an incredible long-range strike to see Southampton to a shock 1-0 win over Manchester City.
Adams was making his 25th top-flight appearance for Saints since his £15million signing just over a year ago, but he picked a fine time to break his duck. 
City rested Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden, among others, after crushing champions Liverpool in midweek and lacked fluency from the outset at St. Mary's, although Adams' wonderful finish preceded a flurry of chances for Pep Guardiola's men.

MATCH EVENTS

16' GOAL! Southampton 1-0 Man City (Adams)

Zinchenko loses possession inside his own half again and Armstrong pokes it to Adams, who hits a stunning first-time lob from 40 yards over the top of Ederson and in! What a brilliant way for the striker to net his first goal for the club!

30' POST! Fernandinho nearly scores!

A McCarthy save is cleared to the edge of the area, where Fernandinho takes a touch before drilling a fantastic effort against the base of the near post from 20 yards! The rebound is then gathered by City again and they recycle possession before Zinchenko clips in an inviting cross that Mahrez heads straight at McCarthy!

53' SAVE! Silva strike stopped by McCarthy  

Zinchenko threads a delightful pass through to David Silva, who neatly spins past Stephens before prodding a shot from close range that McCarthy blocks with his legs!

67' SAVE! Ederson makes an important clearance

Garcia hits a short back pass towards Ederson and for a moment it looks as though Ings might latch into it, but the goalkeeper rushes out to bravely slide it away from harm.
