In a surprising turn of events, Southampton managed to salvage a point in a 0-0 draw against Manchester City in the Premier League.

On the other hand, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, aiming for Champions League qualification, remained in third place with 65 points and two games left in the season. However, Newcastle United and Chelsea are hot on their heels, just two points behind.
Erling Haaland, City’s prolific striker, made a comeback after a six-week absence, but his team faced a resilient Southampton defense. The visitors dominated the match with 26 shots compared to Southampton’s two, but the home side held firm, especially in the dying minutes. City’s best chance came in added time when Omar Marmoush struck the crossbar, narrowly missing a goal.
