Liverpool were once again in stunning form against Southampton on Saturday in the Premier League – after half-time, at least.
Before the break, the Saints gave them a run for their money – the south-coast team actually managed 10 shots to their opponents’ eight in the first 45 minutes – but in the second period, the Reds put their opponents to the sword. It ended up 4-0, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jordan Henderson and Mohamed Salah – twice – scoring the goals.
