Southampton Vs Manchester City, Premier League: Saints Play Out Goalless Draw With City

Southampton, already relegated, held Manchester City to a goalless draw at St Mary's, earning 12 points and avoiding a Premier League record low. City, who could have tied Arsenal on points with a win, put in a lacklustre performance, struggling to break down Southampton's packed defence. Erling Haaland's return from injury didn't change the outcome, as City looked slow and lacking ideas. The dropped points could prove costly in the tight race for a Champions League spot.
