WATCH: Highlights of Southampton 0-3 Man City
Show/hide article…
Vincent Kompany’s first goal in 20 months and Sergio Aguero’s 11th in 11 games helped Manchester City to a 3-0 win at Southampton.
Kompany marked his latest return to the City rearguard in what has been an injury-plagued season by heading a 55th-minute opener. The 31-year-old got his head to David Silva’s corner first and Fraser Forster was unable to prevent it bouncing into the net.
Leroy Sane grabbed a second moments before Aguero chipped in with his 29th goal of the season to seal victory.
First Silva’s through-ball sent De Bruyne through and he squared for Sane to sweep past Forster for his ninth of the season.
Then, in the 80th minute, De Bruyne chipped the ball into the Saints six-yard box and Aguero nodded home at the far post to seal an ultimately comfortable victory.

WATCH: Substitute Shane Long replaced after Southampton mix-up
Show/hide article…
Shane Long was replaced shortly after coming on as a substitute against Man City after a staff mix-up on the Southampton bench.
The Saints lost 3-0 to Pep Guardiola’s side at St Mary’s, with Vincent Kompany, Leroy Sane and Sergio Aguero on target.
Long was brought on to replace January signing Manolo Gabbiadini, who was making his first appearance since injuring his groin against Tottenham in March.
But the Ireland international lasted just 22 minutes before he was withdrawn for fellow striker Jay Rodriguez.
He appeared to have words with Southampton assistant Eric Black and head coach Claude Puel before heading down the tunnel.
A challenge by City defender Nicolas Otamendi may have caused an injury to Long’s ankle but there was confusion after the game, with Puel blaming a staff mix-up.

Puel explains bizarre Long substitution
Show/hide article…
Claude Puel admitted a communication breakdown led to Shane Long’s bizarre second half substitution against Manchester City.
The Republic of Ireland striker was replaced by Jay Rodriguez just 22 minutes after being introduced himself for Manolo Gabbiadini.
When he came off Long looked distinctly unhappy, and exchanged words with Puel and assistant manager Eric Black on the bench, before disappearing straight down the tunnel while the Saints coaching staff were left shrugging their shoulders and shaking their heads.
It transpired that Long, who had earlier been clattered by Nicolas Otamendi, felt a tweak in his hamstring, but was not asking to be taken off.
Confusion reigned though between the pitch and the staff, and so Long was withdrawn.
When asked about the incident, Puel laughed: “It was difficult. It seems that Shane felt a touch himself his hamstring and it seems a misunderstanding between him and the staff.
“It was a precaution to take off Shane but I hope it’s nothing and it will be good for Shane tomorrow or the next day.”
For Puel it was at least one reason to have a light hearted moment on a day he would probably otherwise like to forget.
After a good recent run, frustration abounded at St Mary’s as Saints were well beaten by City.
Though Pep Guardiola’s team were good, Saints didn’t really ever threaten to win the game.
They also failed to really put goalkeeper Claudio Bravo under pressure, despite the obvious nerves he was probably suffering after what has been a tough time of late which has left his performances under the spotlight.
It took Saints until very late in the game to even get their solitary shot on target.
Puel was less concerned about a lack of pressure on Bravo specifically, and in a more general sense as to why that was the case.
“To put the pressure is the pressing and to play and to have a good opportunities and this team perhaps has a goalkeeper in difficulties but we saw with some action we can do better,” he admitted.
“Good possibility in the second half when we recover the ball up the pitch it is a good opportunity for us without a good clinical and it was a shame because without playing a fantastic game we had some opportunities to score.
“I think at the end of the game we can have different opportunities but about our play it was not sufficient for us.”

‘Boxing has helped me forget the bullies’
Show/hide article…
For young Southampton fan Mark Grout, it was difficult growing up. He was a shy person and suffered from bullying.
“I had my problems, and I felt useless and different to everybody else," he says.
“He had no confidence to do anything at all, even reading and writing was a big struggle, everything was a struggle,” she says.
But Mark found out about a programme run by Southampton FC’s Saints Foundation, where they run a variety of sports for young people and adults with physical and cognitive disabilities.
He decided to take up boxing at the Poseidon Amateur Boxing Club, in Hampshire.
“I’d never done boxing in my life. I thought, ‘This is great.’ I get my anger out and forget the bullies.
“It has changed me as I’m a lot happier in myself, I’m more positive on things.”
Mark has flourished in one-to-one sessions with Saints Foundation coach Tom Kempster, and Lisa feels hugely indebted to his mentor.
“The relationship between Mark and Tom is like brothers, and they just have a laugh and a giggle the whole time," she says. "It takes a special person to bring that out in Mark.”
Tom says Mark was timid at first with him.
“He was very shy, he took a little bit of encouraging to get into everything," he says. "But when he got going, he really went into it heart and soul.
“Given the experience and commitment of Mark, he’s more than capable of doing anything he likes.”
Saints Foundation’s boxing programme is part of the Premier League and BT Disability initiative.
Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg met Mark at a session as the programme was showcased.
“It’s wonderful to see Mark, and his journey is not stopping yet," Hojbjerg says. "It will continue.”

A header from Vincent Kompany put the visitors ahead early in the second half, before two goals in three minutes from Leroy Sané and Sergio Agüero confirmed victory for Pep Guardiola’s men.
Claude Puel made two changes to his side for the Premier League tie, as both Manolo Gabbiadini and captain Stevis Davis returned from injury.
It was City that created the first chance of the evening. Gaël Clichy’s deep cross found Agüero in space at the back post, but the Argentine was unable to make clean contact with the ball.
At other end Saints soon fashioned a similar chance. Gabbiadini cut back from the left flank byline but Dušan Tadić rifled over from the edge of the penalty area.
Pierre-Emile Højbjerg then received the first booking of the evening, as he was penalised for a late tackle on David Silva.
Cédric had a low goal-bound drive blocked moments later after Claudio Bravo’s half-cleared punch found the Portuguese in space on the right of the penalty area.
City soon responded and created the best chance of the half. Agüero chipped a teasing ball towards the back post to find Silva in plenty of space, but the Spaniard lashed his effort into the side netting.
The final action of the half saw Saints pick up another card, as Cédric made his way into referee Neil Swarbrick’s book following a foul on Fernandinho.
James Ward-Prowse got the second-half action underway as his early free-kick whizzed past Bravo’s near post, following a foul on Davis.
Forster then had to be on his toes as he dived to his right to tip a rasping effort from Jesus Navas over the crossbar.
City’s opener then followed from the resulting corner. Vincent Kompany rose highest in the penalty and nodded past Forster to head into an empty net.
Puel responded immediately with a double substitution, introducing Shane Long and Sofiane Boufal in favour of Ward-Prowse and Gabbiadini.
On 72 minutes Saints almost found a way back into the match. Tadić’s in-swinging cross from the left found Maya Yoshida at the back post, but he headed straight at Bravo in the City goal.
Five minutes later City doubled their advantage. A swift counter saw Kevin De Bruyne break free from the halfway line and unselfishly square for Sané who slotted under Forster from close range.
Agüero then confirmed victory for the visitors on the 80-minute mark as he headed in De Bruyne’s chipped cross at the back post to make it 3-0.
Saints continued to push right until the end at St Mary’s, but were unable to break down City who cruised their way towards all three points.
