Wit only one home goal conceded all season, Saints held firm until the 51st minute when Yaya Toure scored from 20 yards before City were reduced to 10 men as Eliaquim Mangala was shown a second yellow card on 74 minutes.But Frank Lampard (80) and the Gael Clichy (87) rounded off an impressive 3-0 win that enabled the Blues to leapfrog the Saints into second spot.
