Southampton vs Liverpool

Scorers: Armstrong 42′, Fernandes 56′; Szoboszlai 30′, Salah 65′, (pen) 83′

It was a lively opening start with both sides looking to play. Southampton had an early penalty shout waved away when Adam Armstrong went down under the challenge of Ibrahima Konaté. It was given as a corner, and replays showed the Saints man was outside the box anyway.

Despite sitting bottom of the table, Russell Martin’s side were extremely positive in their approach, but still needed Alex McCarthy to make a strong stop from Mohamed Salah after 20 minutes to remain level.

Dominik Szoboszlai was the next to test the Saints keeper, after Mateus Fernandes lost the ball on the edge of his own box.

The Hungarian made Saints pay for their sloppy passing from the box minutes later, slotting home after the ball was passed to him by Flynn Downes.

Downes almost made up for his mistake with an equaliser, but Caoimhín Kelleher turned it away.

Southampton did equalise just before half-time. Virgil van Dijk lost the ball to Tyler Dibling, who then ran at Andy Robertson, and was taken down on the line of the penalty box. Adam Armstrong’s penalty went straight at Kelleher, but he tapped in the rebound.

After the break, Saints continued to pose a threat against a slack Reds side, and took the lead through Fernandes. Dibling played a huge role in it, again, carrying the ball up the pitch from a corner, playing it to Armstrong who teed up the Portuguese midfielder to send Kelleher the other way.

Liverpool drew level 10 minutes later through Mohamed Salah. Ryan Gravenberch played a searching ball, which McCarthy completely misjudged just as Salah got a touch on it to finish expertly.

With seven minutes remaining, Salah turned the game on its head again, slotting home from the spot after Yukinari Sugawara handled the ball from the Egyptian’s cross.
