Southampton vs Manchester City LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from St. Mary's Stadium

Follow live coverage as Southampton face Manchester City in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

FULL-TIME: SOUTHAMPTON 1-4 MANCHESTER CITY.

CHANCE!! De Bruyne skips past Diallo and crosses from the right. Phillips is underneath it, but mistimes his header and can't get a solid enough contact on the ball to turn it goalwards!

We're into four added minutes at St. Mary's, as City close in on yet another victory - their fifth straight will extend their best winning run of the campaign so far.

Since scoring the fourth goal it's largely become a game of keep-ball for Manchester City, who are oozing class at the moment. Southampton simply can't get near them.

De Bruyne's cross for Haaland's opening goal in the first half was his 100th Premier League assist, with the Belgian becoming only the fifth player to join that exclusive club. Should their combination continue at it's current rate for the rest of the campaign, De Bruyne can easily overtake Frank Lampard (102 assists) and Wayne Rooney (103) in that ranking, and may even catch Cesc Fabregas on 111.

Gundogan's cross-field pass is played back by Walker to Silva, but his ball for Alvarez at the back post is headed clear by Bednarek.
