Pep Guardiola locked the Man City players in the dressing room after their Southampton draw

The City boss staged a 50-minute inquest behind closed doors after their fifth game without a win.

John Stones gifted a first half opener to Southampton when he played in Nathan Redmond with a misplaced pass.

Kelechi Iheanacho rescued a point with a second-half equaliser but Guardiola made his feelings clear to his squad despite returning to the top of the Premier League on goal difference.

The City boss attempted to play down the lock-in afterwards though.

“The red wine was good and I took a little bit longer,” he said.

“We were together, we speak but nothing special. We speak about what is the situation.”

Nathan Redmond: Manchester City’s defence was an accident waiting to happen

Nathan Redmond says he knew Man City would give Southampton some chances

The Saints winger scored the opener after pouncing on John Stones’s horrendous first half mistake.

Kelechi Iheanacho rescued a point for City after the break but Redmond said: “We knew they would give us chances, because they only play with three at the back.

“As soon as I saw the opportunity I anticipated it and then I had to keep a cool head, which I’ve been working on since I came to the club.

“We can take the positives. We’ve come away with a point, but with our mentality in the squad, we want all three points at the end of the day.

“Even if we draw, we’re frustrated that we didn’t get all three points. But we’ll take the point and we’ll keep going.

“We’ve got some good form now in the league, so we’ll look to continue that moving forward.”

John Stones’ error leads to Southampton goal against Man City

Show/hide article…

Manchester City were left to rue another defensive mistake as they drew 1-1 with Southampton on Sunday.

Pep Guardiola saw his side punished for a number of defensive errors in a 4-0 defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League in midweek, and they were made to pay again against Saints after John Stones’ poor backpass gifted Nathan Redmond a 27th-minute opener.

Asked about Stones’ mistake, Guardiola said: "Once again it’s not difficult but they are human beings and it happens.

“We spoke about it after the last game to try and avoid it and we’ll repeat that again. It’s difficult at this level and we have to be more clinical in this way.”

City managed to fight back and claim a point thanks to a second-half goal from substitute Kelechi Iheanacho.

However, they have now gone five games without a win in all competitions and next up is a clash with Manchester United in the fourth round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday.

10 things we learned this Premier League weekend as City clung on to top spot

Show/hide article…

The Premier League has been and gone for another weekend with talking points aplenty once more dominating the back pages.

Manchester City clung on to top spot with a point against Southampton, but are level on points with Arsenal and Liverpool.

Chelsea and Tottenham are on their heels, just a point further back, after the Blues demolished City’s neighbours United on Sunday.

So - what did we learn from the 10 fixtures over the course of Saturday and Sunday? Look no further…

You can take the boy out of north London but you can’t take the north London out of the boy, and all that comes with it.

Jack Wilshere may not be in Arsenal colours this season but that was never going to spare him dogs’ abuse from the Tottenham fans.

They jeered his every touch. The reception when his name was read out was so predictable even the PA announcer couldn’t resist a chuckle.

The good news for Wilshere was a first 90 minutes for Bournemouth with Southgate watching on.

They celebrated putting six past Ludogorets in midweek with dressing room selfies. You’d have thought they’d have learnt their lesson from last season when they did the same after beating Leicester - and then collapsed in the title race.

Arsenal have been on a great run, Arsene Wenger was celebrating his birthday, the fans were expecting a n easy win as Boro have been struggling.

That’s exactly when you tend to slip up. Especially if you’re getting carried away with selfies.

Arsenal 0-0 Middlesbrough: Petr Cech stars as Gunners settle for a point - 5 things we learned

Five wins in a row raised expectations, but now it is a run of two draws and three defeats.

They are better than that, but have to prove it.

The visitors were well on top with almost 70pc possession at half time, but a goal down. They were lacklustre and without aggression all over the pitch.

Burnley 2-1 Everton: Scott Arfield grabs late winner to down Toffees - 5 things we learned

After a slow start, Stoke are heading in the right direction.

Mark Hughes’s men are four games unbeaten following this, their first away league win since March, and have now recorded back-to-back victories following their first success of the season at Sunderland last week.

They were better than Hull in every area of the field and could and should have won by four or five goals.

Nigerian winger Ahmed Musa’s first goal for Leicester, which broke the deadlock amid too much white noise and too little quality, was a decent hit.

Linking up purposefully in an all-African front line with Algerian pair Riyad Mahrez and Islam Slimani, Musa has been a peripheral figure this season, promising more than he delivered.

Confidence is the cure for most ills in football, but whether this performance will be enough to dislodge the consistent Marc Albrighton from Claudio Ranieri’s optimum first XI remains to be seen.

It may have been his home bow, but Bradley showed he was not afraid to make the big calls.

He made five changes from the defeat at Arsenal, including changing three members of the back four and taking top scorer Leroy Fer out of the side.

No doubt Swansea will need such a no-nonsense approach.

During the week the Sunderland boss insisted Jermain Defoe’s claim that the club have “gone backwards” had been taken out of context. The trouble is, they have gone backwards.

They are far worse than they were under Sam Allardyce. They looked a disorganised mess during the first half. The only surprise was that both teams went in at half time goalless.

They were only slightly better during the second period - and then conceded late on. Moyes needs time to sort this mess. The worry is that he might not get it.

He was desperately disappointing against United on Monday, rushing his passing to the point of hysteria, but he was only SO disappointing because you know he can do stuff like he tortured West Brom with.

His dummy to create the first goal defined the game, a moment of pure class that turned a tight contest on its head.

And his turn inside and stunning near post finish showed a player who is maturing.

He’s at an age now where he could take the next step towards world class level.

Liverpool 2-1 West Brom: Mane and Coutinho on target in hard-fought win - 5 things we learned

All week, Pep Guardiola has faced criticism for his refusal to change his ways.

City - and in particular Claudio Bravo - were caught out at the Nou Camp but Pep insisted he would always play out of the back.

Within half an hour at the Etihad, his methods had led to another City calamity and saw them drop more points.

This time it was John Stones who messed up as he tried to play the ball across defence to Vincent Kompany.

Eden Hazard and Diego Costa were two of the players branded as ‘rats’ by Chelsea fans in the immediate aftermath of Mourinho’s sacking last December.

Yet both have rediscovered their peak form under Conte.

Hazard, who has admitted he enjoys playing in this narrow front three, netted his fourth league goal of the season – as opposed to a big fat zero at the same stage last term.

Costa didn’t score yesterday but was full of menace and has seven to his name this season.
