Southampton lost to Manchester City on Sunday.

Southampton fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Mohamed Elyounoussi against Manchester City at the weekend.

Elyounoussi featured for Southampton in their Premier League game against City at St. Mary’s Stadium on Sunday.

The 24-year-old, who can operate as a forward or as a winger, started the match and played for the entire 90 minutes, as Pep Guardiola’s side won 3-1.

According to WhoScored, against City on Sunday, the Norway international had a pass accuracy of 71.4%, won two tackles, and played one key pass.

Although Elyounoussi worked hard and showed abundance of energy, the attacker failed to produce much in terms of creativity and did not trouble the City defence much.

The defeat to the Citizens means that the Saints are now level on points with 18th-placed Burnley in 17th place in the Premier League table.

Southampton fans were not impressed with the performance of the 24-year-old – who joined the Saints from Basel in the summer transfer window – and have criticised him on Twitter.
