Defender blasts Saints’ time-wasting: ‘It kills the game’‘They can do whatever they want,’ responds City manager
Rúben Dias tore into Southampton for what he felt were anti-football tactics, laying bare his frustration after Manchester City were held to a 0-0 draw at St Mary’s Stadium. The centre-half watched Southampton have just two shots – both off target – and 28% of the ball as they ground out a result that means City are still not assured of a top-five finish and Champions League qualification.
Dias raged about Southampton’s use of the dark arts, including time-wasting, although his manager, Pep Guardiola, had no complaints, saying it was simply up to City to find a way through.
