On a sunny day at St. Mary’s Stadium, the home to premier league side Southampton, they host Liverpool in a thrilling encounter that saw 5 goals being scored in the match.
Dominik Szoboszlai gave Liverpool the lead to make it 0-1 in the 31st minute through some defensive errors by the home side. Nigerian midfielder Joe Aribo replaced Adam Lallana in the 37th minute, who had an injury that couldn’t be remedied.
Not long after, Southampton had a chance at an equalizer through a penalty chance in the 42nd minute. Adam Armstrong missed the penalty but was able to pounce on the rebound to make it 1-1.
In the second half, Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu had an innocuous injury that took him off in the 52nd minute. Four minutes later, Mateus Fernandes pushed the home side ahead through a well-executed counter to make it 2-1.
A couple of changes were made by Liverpool, who equalized in the 65th through Mohamed Salah to make it 2-2. The game seemed one-sided with the visitors piling on the pressure and in the 85th minute, Mohamed Salah again pushed Liverpool on top to make it 2-3 with a clean-taken penalty and a cool way to record his brace in the match.
The match ended with Liverpool dominating the ball possession on 62%, 10 corners, 28 total shots, and 11 on target.
Liverpool leads the Premier League with 8 points clear of Manchester City, who are on 23 points out of 12 games.
