Manchester City's Phil Foden still has a lot to learn according to Graeme Souness.
Foden was blamed by the Liverpool legend for Kyle Walker-Peters' goal which gave the Saints the lead in the first half.
Aymeric Laporte equalised for Pep Guardiola's side in the second half but the Citizens could not break Southampton down again and had to settle for a point.
Speaking to Sky Sports at full time, Souness said: "(Oriol) Romeu switches play here to Kyle Walker-Peters. Foden is tucked in where he should be, he’s come right across and says to Cancelo, ‘I’ve got this covered,’ and he jogs and he continues to jog.
"Kyle Walker-Peters comes in front of him and he just gives up.
"He’ll get a rollicking for that.
"That’s hard yards that senior pros just do because they’re in automatic gear, it’s just something you do without thinking.
"He has proved today he’s still got to learn about doing the hard yards. You can’t hold your hand up and say, ‘I’ve got this covered,’ then leave your team like that."
The point saw City extend their lead to 12 over second-placed Liverpool but the Reds now have two games in hand over the champions.
