Sané with an assist for Manchester City

Ilkay Gündogan and Leroy Sané helped Manchester City to reclaim the top spot in the Premier League table. The Citizens drew 1-1 with eighth placed Southampton, with Sané playing a key role. In just his second Premier League start, the Germany international set up Kelechi Iheanacho for the Manchester City’s equaliser in the 55th minute. Nathan Redmond had put the visitors into a 1-0 lead in the 27th minute.

On top of assisting the equaliser, Sané looked a threat more generally in the final third and set up another good opportunities for his side. Gündogan was tasked with pulling the strings for Pep Guardiola’s team, playing in a two-man central midfield. The result means that Manchester city now sit on 20 points, ahead of Arsenal on goal difference, who have Mesut Özil, Shkrodran Mustafi and Per Mertesacker in their ranks. The Gunners played out a 0-0 draw with promoted side Middlesbrough on Saturday. Meanwhile, Liverpool are also on 20 points, after recording a 2-1 win over West Bromwich Albion. Emre Can started for the reds.
