A rare Vincent Kompany goal plus strikes from Leroy Sane and Sergio Aguero boosted Manchester City’s top-four hopes with a 3-0 win at Southampton.
After a goalless first half at St Mary’s Stadium, Pep Guardiola saw Kompany head in his first Premier League goal since August 2015 from David Silva’s corner.
City doubled their lead with 13 minutes remaining when they broke and Kevin De Bruyne passed to Sane to score easily.
Great words from our captain, @VincentKompany, after that win over @SouthamptonFC! #saintsvcity #mcfc https://t.co/0znwmXttgF

Less than three minutes later it was 3-0, De Bruyne crossing for Aguero to head in.
The win lifted City above Liverpool, who play West Bromwich Albion on Sunday, into third. Southampton remain ninth.
