1-1
The home side dominated the first half and most of second. A great cross from James Milner set up Christian Benteke perfectly for a belter of a headed goal in the 77th minute. Benteke’s goal should have been enough to ensure Liverpool Jurgen Klopp's first win for Liverpool.
Liverpool though were
denied their win in the dying minutes of the game as Sadio Mane managed to
score a goal to earn Southampton a draw. After scoring Mane was shown a second
yellow card which meant he was sent off in the dying minutes of the game.
The draw means Southampton
are 8th and Liverpool and one place behind in 9th. Both teams have 14 points
each and are separated by goal difference.
