The Citizens were beaten at St. Mary’s by a Sadio Mane-inspired Southampton side and even though the young Nigerian scored a brace, it wasn’t enough to earn them any points, which has now put their top-four place in the balance.
“Many things went wrong in our team. We lost so many balls and didn’t defend well,” Iheanacho said in a post-match interview.
“We lost and we are not happy.”
The 19-year-old also admitted that the loss didn’t offer them enough encouragements going into the Champions League clash with Real Madrid, but said they will put it behind them and come out stronger.
“I think we’re going to come stronger in the next game. This game didn’t give us enough encouragement. But we will put it behind us and focus on the Real Madrid game,” he said.
City remain fourth in the Premier League table, but are now four points ahead of eternal rivals Manchester United.
