Southampton were brilliant, and they could’ve potentially come away with all 3 points. The Saints had a potential penalty-call go against them and a Kyle Walker red card was taken away by a controversial VAR decision.
Manchester City amped up the pressure late on during the second half and themselves saw a VAR decision rule out a late winner. Phil Foden’s header off the post was put in by Raheem Sterling, who was adjudged to have been off-side.
After City beat RB Leipzig 6-3 in a Champions League clash on Wednesday, Guardiola pleaded to supporters to turn up in force for the Saints’ visit. A massive 52,698-strong crowd showed up and sang Guardiola’s name from the stands. In a post-match interaction, Pep remained defiant about his demand for more support at the Etihad. The Manchester City boss stated:
“Please come on Tuesday against Wycombe, the Carabao Cup, please come to be with us.’” - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola
Kevin Parker, general secretary of Manchester City’s official fan club, asked Guardiola to stick to coaching. However, the Spaniard recapitulated his request and asked fans to turn up for a Carabao cup tie against Wycombe. Guardiola said:
After a frustrating goalless draw against the Saints, Manchester City will host their first Carabao cup tie this season against Wycombe on Wednesday (September 22).
