Follow all the action here.
Southampton vs Liverpool
Scorers: Szoboszlai 30′
It was a lively opening start with both sides looking to play. Southampton had an early penalty shout waved away when Adam Armstrong went down under the challenge of Ibrahima Konaté. It was given as a corner, and replays showed the Saints man was outside the box anyway.
Despite sitting bottom of the table, Russell Martin’s side were extremely positive in their approach, but still needed Alex McCarthy to make a strong stop from Mohamed Salah after 20 minutes to remain level.
Dominik Szoboszlai was the next to test the Saints keeper, after Mateus Fernandes lost the ball on the edge of his own box.
The Hungarian made Saints pay for their sloppy passing from the box minutes later, slotting home after the ball was passed to him by Flynn Downes.
Downes almost made up for his mistake with an equaliser, but CaoimhÃn Kelleher turned it away.
Southampton did equalise just before half-time. Virgil van Dijk lost the ball to Tyler Dibling, who then ran at Andy Robertson, and was taken down on the line of the penalty box. Adam Armstrong’s penalty went straight at Kelleher, but he tapped in the rebound.
