Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says their patience paid off after a 2-1 win over Southampton.
City trailed to an early James Ward-Prowse goal and did not equalise until Sergio Aguero scored with their first shot on target on 70 minutes, with Kyle Walker hitting their late winner.
"Southampton defended with 11 men in the 18-yard box so there were no spaces to attack," Guardiola said afterwards.
"We just had to be patient, putting in crosses and trying to win the second balls, but at the same time we were constantly attacking and were very aggressive in our actions.
"It was difficult after we conceded but our rhythm was high from the first minute and we had incredibly good momentum in the first half.
"In the second half we had maybe 30 or 35 minutes where we were so intense in our actions. It was not easy, but that is why we did it and could make the comeback in the end."
