Puncheon Goal Southampton 1-0 Manchester City

Southampton 1-0 Manchester City 9 February 2012.Watch here Puncheon Goal against Man City on EPL 2013. It's been a positive start for the hosts, who are looking lively. It seems as though they are going to test Javi Garcia, who is not a routine centre-back. A few high balls have been slung his way, but they've been dealt with so far. Here we go! Southampton, kicking from right to left, get this match started at a wet and windy St Mary's Stadium. Game on... Right then, the players are preparing to emerge. There's a decent atmosphere on the South Coast. You get the impression that everybody connected knows how important this one is. Three points for either could really change their seasons. His absence does make that City bench look a little short in terms of goalscoring options though. Scott Sinclair is the most advanced player on there and he has barely been used since his switch from Swansea City. Perhaps they shouldn't have parted with Mr Balotelli after all. 5So, where is Carlos Tevez I hear you ask? Well, no idea! He is not in Southampton, that's for sure. The rumour coming from the ground is that he has been given the day off for family reasons. It's doubtful that he would started anyway because he has found himself among the substitutes in recent weeks.
