Vincent Kompany proved to be the star performer on his return to Manchester City's starting lineup, inspiring his side to a 3-0 win at Southampton.
The Belgium international scored the opener and produced a fine defensive all-round display in the remainder, as the Citizens picked up back-to-back league victories.
Leroy Sane and Sergio Aguero were also on target in the second half, the latter of whom powered home a header to make it 11 goals in his last 11 outings.

Claude Puel: "He was a young trainer [when we met in 2009], but his team was fantastic. We drew at home, and unfortunately lost 5-2 at Barcelona, but it was fantastic to see his team, his players. We can see all the teams trying to play like this, and have good possession. I have a lot respect for Pep."
Pep Guardiola: "Last week I decided for Claudio. Saturday I am going to decide. It depends on if the opponent makes a lot of high pressing or not. The way the opponent plays as well. What I see in the training session. I have confidence with both. We will see. It's my decision. I like both to be involved. I have confidence in both so we will see."
