The team of the Spaniard Pep Guardiola now has a 12-point lead over Liverpool (2nd), who have played two games less.
Manchester City, outstanding leader of the Premier League, cut his streak of twelve consecutive wins in the championship by drawing 1-1 on his visit to Southampton, this Saturday on matchday 23, where the Manchester United placed fourth by winning 1-0 at West Ham.
The Spanish international born in France Aymeric Laporte signed the equalizer for City, with a header in the 65th minute.
He was thus able to balance the score again after Southampton went ahead in the 7th with a goal from Kyle Walker-Peters.
City, with just four shots between the three sticks in twenty attempts, did not have their most inspired game.
Their advantage in the lead is still very wide and this tie, for now, is only a warning to avoid excessive relaxation.
Since their 2-0 loss at home to Crystal Palace by the end of October he had won all of his Premier League games. The streak remains at 12, after breaking with the tie this Saturday.
The Manchester City now has 12 points advantage over the Liverpool (2nd), who has played two games less, one of which will be played on Sunday at the Crystal Palace (13ยบ).
Compared to Chelsea (3rd), City is 13 points ahead. The ‘Blues’ receive on Sunday the Tottenham (6th) in a London derby.
Southampton (12th) is installed in the quiet zone of the classification.
