Southampton succumbed to another embarrassing defeat in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Saints travelled to Liverpool more in hope than expectation, but were humiliated yet again as the Reds ran riot. The visitors were dominated from start to finish and Jurgen Klopp’s side probably deserved more than only a 3-0 win.
Mohamed Salah opened the scoring with a beautifully struck curling effort into Fraser Forster’s top right corner after Dusan Tadic tried to be too clever on the edge of his own box.
It was Salah who extended the Reds’ advantage just ten minutes after. Saints’ central players totally went to sleep, allowing the Egyptian winger in behind to poke through Forster’s legs.
Liverpool were thoroughly comfortable in the second-half and got their third through Philippe Coutinho. Forster blocked Roberto Firmino’s initial effort but, as we’ve seen many times, his save fell straight to the feet of the incoming opposition player. Coutinho made no mistake and tucked away the third and final goal of the afternoon.
Southampton didn’t have a shot on target.
