Manchester City found their way to the top of the English Premier League table after demolishing Southampton at the Etihad.

Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, Joao Cancelo and Riyad Mahrez all scored a goal each in the encounter.

Haaland  had bungled   series of good chances before finally finding the net for his 15th goal of the Premier League season – but by that point, the game had long since been won.

While the victory moves Pep Guardiola’s unbeaten side back above Arsenal into top spot, a fourth consecutive defeat only adds to the pressure on beleaguered Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl.
Arsenal are looking to reclaim their position but would have to surmount the Liverpool hurdle in Sunday’s fiesty encounter at the Emirate.
