Everton vs Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Buendia heads home Digne’s corner

80 mins: This one doesn’t look good. VAR is called into action for a potential red card against Stuart Armstrong. He arrives late in a tackle on Aymeric Laporte. His foot is high and he scrapes down the thigh of the City defender. It looks worse in slow motion and Armstrong may be in trouble here.

Another delay as the VAR check all the angles... yellow card only!

77 mins: There’s a VAR check for a potential Manchester City penalty. Salisu seems to clip De Bruyne as he brings the ball into the box. I’m not convinced that there’s enough contact to give the decision. It looks as though De Bruyne was clipped outside to the box as well.

VAR take their time with it but decide on no penalty! The game goes on.

75 mins: Southampton just can’t get out from the back. Everytime they try City are on top of them immediately to win back the ball. Elyounoussi gets furthest win a run into the left side of City’s half but Walker takes the ball off him before he can do any damage.

72 mins: Mohammed Salisu blocked Phil Foden’s shot with his face and needed a breather after the Southampton clearance.

Man City come again with a ball into the box from the right. Salisu gets it clear but De Bruyne recovers the ball. He checks to the right and curls a ranged effort at goal that rattles into the right-hand post!

Jan Bednarek is replaced with Lyanco for Southampton.

69 mins: Who isn’t expecting Man City to go on and win this game now? Joao Cancelo flicks the ball into the box and Southampton are scrambling to clear. They’re composure at the back has gone. The ball bounces up for Phil Foden who shoots but can’t work the ball through the cluster of bodies in the area. It hits a Saints player but they managed to boot it clear.

66 mins: Equaliser! Kevin De Bruyne lifts the free kick over to the far side of the box as Aymeric Laporte makes a run from deep. The defender breaks through the Southampton lines, wins the ball in the air and heads it sweetly past Fraser Forster. Lovely goal from Man City but too easy for the Premier League leaders.

63 mins: Stuart Armstrong needs a bit of treatment from the physios and takes a couple of minutes out of the game. After the restart Che Adams hacks down Gabriel Jesus and gives Man City the opportunity to work a free kick into the box.

60 mins: Gabriel Jesus has been introduced by Pep Guardiola with Raheem Sterling taken off. It hasn’t been one of Sterling’s better outings in recent times. Can Jesus make a difference for City? Half an hour still to play.

57 mins: Save! Bernardo Silva floats a cross over to the left side of the box for Phil Foden. He catches the ball on the volley and smokes one at goal only for Fraser Forster to get behind the ball and punch it away! Another decent save from the Southampton goalkeeper.

54 mins: Chance! Massive opportunity for Saints to double their lead. They win it in midfield and thread a pass in between the two City centre-backs. Armando Broja darts inside of Aymeric Laporte and carries the bll into the box on the counterattack. Broja rolls the ball onto his right foot and shoots but Laporte gets back in time to deflect it behind for a corner!

The corner is swung in by James Ward-Prowse. He fins Mohammed Salisu who heads the ball over to Broja who beats Ederson in the air and heads it onto the near post! Broja could not come any closer without scoring.
