Raheem Sterling's first-half goal gave Manchester City all three points in a tough battle with Southampton in the Premier League.
Manchester City returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 1-0 victory away to Southampton on Saturday.
After back-to-back draws with Manchester United and West Brom, and with neither Sergio Aguero nor Gabriel Jesus starting at St Mary's Stadium, there was pressure on Pep Guardiola's men to find a way past a Southampton side who have looked one of the most impressive in the league this season.
A goal from Raheem Sterling proved decisive, the England international producing a composed finish in the first half to secure maximum points on the south coast.
