Aymeric Laporte’s goal in the second half helped Man City earn a point, but they saw their 12-game winning streak come to an end.
A little about Aymeric Laporte
Man City player Aymeric Laporte admits his side struggled to come to terms with the limited playing surface at St Mary’s as they were ushered to a 1-1 draw against Southampton on Saturday. The PL leaders saw their 12-game competitive winning streak come to an end on the south coast, dropping points for the first time since October. Aymeric Laporte at least ensured they took something out of the game by crediting a second half-EQ after Walker-Peters gave the hosts an early lead.
What did Aymeric Laporte say?
Aymeric Laporte said after the game that he thinks they played really well today, maybe they deserved more, but if they don’t score more than one goal, it’s difficult. According to Aymeric Laporte the step is small so it’s a bit harder for them he thinks they deserve a little more but they have to stay focused they have to continue like they did the last few weeks where they did a really great job and now focus on the next one.
