Mohamed Salah scored a late brace to give Liverpool a vital three points at St Mary's against a determined Southampton side on Sunday.

The Reds took the lead in the 30th minute through Dominik Szoboszlai's brilliant curling effort after Russell Martin's team had played themselves into trouble.

Liverpool took their foot off the gas, however, and found themselves trailing after 56 minutes after Adam Armstrong and Mateus Fernandes gave the home side the advantage.

Salah stepped up once again to score a fine goal from Ryan Gravenberch's through ball in the 65th minute before blasting a penalty past Alex McCarthy in the Southampton goal in the 83rd minute.

The win takes Arne Slot's team eight points clear at the top of the table, with second-placed Manchester City next up in the league at Anfield.

Liverpool are back in Premier League action on Sunday as they travel St Mary's Stadium to face Southampton with a chance to go eight points clear at the top of the table.

The match against the Saints gives Arne Slot's team a huge opportunity after Pep Guardiola's men suffered a shock 4-0 home defeat against Tottenham on Saturday.

The Reds face the Champions at Anfield next Sunday, after a midweek clash with Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, as they enter a hugely busy and important period of the season.

Victory against Southampton is, therefore, imperative to capitalise on their rivals' poor form, which has seen them lose five games on the bounce.
