Man City player ratings vs Southampton with three 5/10s as Haaland struggles on return in dull draw

Manchester City were not good enough as they were held 0-0 at Southampton in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola's side wasted a golden opportunity to get Champions League football for next season as they failed to score on a sunny afternoon on the south coast.

Southampton set up not to concede as they looked to avoid ending up with the lowest points tally in Premier League history, and they frustrated the Blues. For all of the ball they had in long spells of dominant possession, City never did enough to beat Aaron Ramsdale in the Southampton goal.

Jeremy Doku came on at half-time to try and change the game for City and Ruben Dias went close with a header, but nobody could find the breakthrough. Here are the ratings from the Manchester Evening News.

Ederson: Barely had a run to make never mind a save as he enjoyed one of his quietest games of the season. 6

Lewis: Played at right-back and stayed wider than he usually does. Untroubled defensively and a steady afternoon. 6

Dias: Kept looking to force City forward in a game where he saw plenty of the ball higher up the pitch than usual. 7

Akanji: A solid outing on his first start since February, settling in nicely alongside Dias and pushing up when he could. 6

McAtee: Saw little of the ball on the right as City targeted Southampton down the other side. Taken off at half-time. 6

De Bruyne: Couldn't find the killer ball needed to make the breakthrough despite dictating play. 5

Foden: Ca
