2016-17 Barclays Premier League Sunday Oct 23,2016

Manchester City Vs Southampton
The Match ended in a 1-1 draw
Goal Scorers
For Southampton - Nathan Redmond(27)
For Manchester City - Kelechi Iheanacho(55)

Manchester City returned to the top of the Premier League despite seeing their winless streak extend to a fifth game as Southampton earned a deserved draw.
The visitors led when John Stones' sloppy pass allowed Nathan Redmond to round Claudio Bravo and slot in.
City improved after being booed off by some home fans at the break, equalising when half-time substitute Kelechi Iheanacho prodded in Leroy Sane's low cross.
Pep Guardiola's side controlled the second half as they searched for a winner, but Saints keeper Fraser Forster produced splendid saves to deny Ilkay Gundogan and David Silva.
City's inability to grab a second goal means ex-Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss Guardiola has failed to win in five successive matches for only the second time in his managerial career.
However, the point was still enough to lift the Blues back above Arsenal and Liverpool to the Premier League summit.

  • Guardiola is winless in five games as a manager for the first time since March 2009.
  • Iheanacho has now netted 11 goals from 17 shots on target in his Premier League career.
  • Manchester City had just three shots on target against Southampton - their fewest in a game under Guardiola.
  • Sergio Aguero has gone three Premier League games without a goal for the first time since December 2015.
  • Oriol Romeu made eight tackles against Manchester City, the most by a Southampton player in a Premier League game this season.



Chelsea Vs Manchester United
Chelsea beats Manchester United 4-0
Goal Scorers -Pedra(01);Gary Cahill(21); Eden Hazard(62)and N'Golo Kante(70)

Jose Mourinho was humiliated on his return to Chelsea as his former club blew away his Manchester United side at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues, who sacked Mourinho for a second time last year, led after just 30 seconds when Pedro capitalised on slack defending to roll in.
Gary Cahill smashed in the second after United allowed Eden Hazard's corner to bounce in their box.
United offered little sign of making a comeback, falling further behind when Hazard drilled in a precise 15-yard strike.
N'Golo Kante skipped around a static defence to slot in and seal victory as Chelsea moved within a point of Premier League leaders Manchester City.
The comprehensive win lifted the Blues above Tottenham into fourth, with just one point separating the top five.
United stay seventh as the gap between them and the early pacesetters widens to six points, with almost a quarter of the season gone.

  • Chelsea have gone eight league games - winning four and drawing four - without losing against Manchester United, their best run against the Red Devils in their history.
  • Pedro scored the fastest goal in the Premier League this season, finding the net after 30 seconds.
  • He was also booked after 59 seconds for his celebration, the quickest yellow this season in the Premier League.
  • This was only the sixth time Manchester United had conceded in the opening minute of a Premier League game. Gus Poyet, Jason Euell, Marlon Harewood, Jermain Defoe and Edin Dzeko were the other scorers.
  • Only twice before had Jose Mourinho seen his side concede inside the first minute - both to Southampton while at Chelsea (James Beattie in 2004 and Jay Rodriguez in 2013).
  • Manchester United have only collected fewer points from their first nine games of a Premier League season once before - in 2014-15 when they collected 13.
  • Eden Hazard has equalled his goal tally from last season in the Premier League - four - in just nine games.
