Manchester City Held to Shocking 0-0 Draw by Relegated Southampton
Manchester City were left frustrated after a surprising 0-0 draw against already-relegated Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium on Saturday, May 10, 2025.
Despite dominating the match with 71.8% possession and 26 shots, Pep Guardiola’s side could not break through a resilient Southampton defense, largely thanks to a heroic performance by goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
The match marked the return of star striker Erling Haaland after a six-week injury spell, but the Norwegian couldn’t provide the finishing touch City so desperately needed.
City remain third in the Premier League table with 65 points, but the dropped points could prove costly as both Newcastle and Chelsea—each with a game in hand—trail closely behind.
Meanwhile, the result was a small but meaningful achievement for Southampton, who moved up to 12 points on the season and avoided equaling Derby County’s infamous 11-point Premier League campaign in 2007-08.
