Manchester City has surged to the top of the Premier League standings following a hard-fought victory over Southampton at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.The decisive moment came early in the match when Erling Haaland, who had been experiencing a goal drought over his last three league appearances, found the back of the net in the first half.

This goal not only broke his scoring slump but also proved crucial as it propelled Pep Guardiola’s team to a narrow but important win.

Following the result, Manchester City now sits at the top of the league table, holding a two-point advantage over their closest rivals, Liverpool.

Liverpool has the opportunity to reclaim the top spot in the league during their highly anticipated clash against Arsenal on Sunday, a match that promises to be a thrilling encounter between two of City’s main title contenders. The stakes are high, and both teams will be eager to secure a crucial three points in the race for the Premier League title.
