Southampton 4-2 Manchester City: Iheanacho double wasn't enough as Mane Hat-trick opens top four spot

The Senegal international turned in a devastating display as Ronald Koeman’s outfit inflicted a heavy defeat upon opponents who must now turn their attentions to Real Madrid.

Manchester City suffered a big blow ahead of an important week as a Sadio Mane hat-trick inspired Southampton to a 4-2 Premier League win at St Mary’s Stadium.

Manuel Pellegrini had complained pre-match about having to play on Sunday ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final trip to Real Madrid, and the Chilean duly omitted a number of first-team regulars from his starting line-up.

Sergio Aguero, Bacary Sagna, Gael Clichy and Fernando watched the entire game from the bench, while Kevin De Bruyne was left out entirely.
