Liverpool stretched their lead at the top of the Premier League table to 16 points after coming from behind to beat Southampton 3-1 at Anfield on Saturday.
Will Smallbone capitalised on a mix-up in the Reds defence to put Saints ahead in first-half stoppage time.
However, the hosts seized control of the contest with an early second-half surge. Darwin Nunez levelled, slamming home from Luis Diaz’s cut-back, before winning a penalty that was clinically dispatched by Mohamed Salah.
