Manchester City Tops Premier League After Win

Manchester City ascended to the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 victory over Southampton, thanks to an early goal from Erling Haaland. The win, which extended City's unbeaten league streak to 32 matches, puts them two points ahead of Liverpool, who are set to play Arsenal. Southampton remains winless this season and sits near the bottom of the table, having come close to equalizing just before halftime when Cameron Archer hit the crossbar. Despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances, City failed to add to their lead, with Haaland missing a couple of close opportunities in the second half. The match showcased City's strong defensive performance, with goalkeeper Ederson largely untested throughout. With this result, City is now only six weeks away from marking a year since their last league defeat.
