That's it for this match, but stay tuned and quickly switch tabs to follow Ruben Amorim's first match as the head coach of Manchester United, who are traveling to Ipswich Town. That match starts soon and Elliot Thompson will have you covered with all the action here on Tribe. Until next time, this is Sanil Karan signing off.
In the second half, Southampton took the surprise lead through a clinical finish by Fernandes, set up by Armstrong and Dibling, but their momentum was short-lived as McCarthy's misjudgment allowed Salah to score following a through ball from Gravenberch. The goalkeeper was later fortunate to deny DÃaz's header but failed to clear a dangerous ball, with Mac Allister’s strike narrowly missing. Southampton's fate was sealed when Sugawara handled in the box, giving Salah the chance to score from the penalty spot, securing Liverpool’s fifth consecutive win. Despite a valiant effort from Southampton, the loss leaves them with back-to-back defeats, while Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points.
Southampton proved resilient against Liverpool, with Mateus Fernandes testing the Reds early on and Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konate both earning yellow cards for bookable challenges. Despite strong saves from Alex McCarthy denying Mohamed Salah and others, Liverpool broke the deadlock after a defensive error from Fernandes led to Dominik Szoboszlai’s brilliant strike. Southampton's fortunes took a further hit with Adam Lallana’s injury, but they responded when Andy Robertson fouled Tyler Dibling, allowing Adam Armstrong to convert folllwing the intitial penalty save.
LIVERPOOL GO EIGHT POINTS CLEAR AT THE TOP!
90+8'
Diaz wins a free kick as he’s fouled, eating up valuable seconds for Southampton. Moments later, Stephens is shown a yellow card for a late challenge on Salah on the right, adding to the hosts' frustration as time continues to slip away. Liverpool are managing the game well, with the clock now very much on their side.
J. Stephens
90+8'
90+7'
Southampton continue to probe, but the spaces are tight as Liverpool defend resolutely. Harwood-Bellis delivers a ball into the left side of the box, and Archer stretches to get his head on it, but he fails to make a solid connection. The ball drifts harmlessly out for a goal kick, and the chance fades.
90+5'
CHANCE! Endo concedes a foul just outside his own box, giving Southampton a promising opportunity. Fernandes delivers a precise ball into the box, finding Stephens' head, but the defender can't keep his header down, sending it over the crossbar. It's a missed chance for Southampton to make an impact late in the game.
90+3'
Endo goes down in the box after a challenge from Harwood-Bellis, but it's never a penalty. The referee waves it off, and VAR concurs, confirming there’s no foul. Liverpool's appeals are dismissed as the game continues.
