Manchester City made to fight against brave Saints

It was David vs Goliath as Southampton arrived at the Etihad to face the league champions in their opening fixture of the Premier League. What ensued was a riveting game of football in which the newly promoted side almost caused the upset of weekend. 

However, whilst the Saints were close, they were denied a victory by City in the best game of the season so far.

With 18 minutes to play, the home side found themselves 2-1 down and in desperate need of the display they put on against QPR to grab the trophy away from their greatest rivals. They managed to summon up that spirit and scored 2 goals in quick time to relieve themselves of the embarrassment of losing to a newly promoted side.

It was Samir Nasri who scored the winning goal and he proved to be the Man of the Match for his brilliant play throughout the 90 minutes. He made incisive passes, controlled the midfield and pulled the strings of every major attack Manchester City made.  Nasri would be happy with the nice change in the headlines after attracting a lot of criticism for his behaviour within the French squad.
