    FT: Southampton 1-2 Liverpool. It's all over here at St. Mary's and Liverpool have got the job done! After Minamino levelled for the Reds in the first half, Joel Matip headed the Champions League finalists into the lead midway through the second. Klopp's men saw the game out well from there as they nullified what little pressure Southampton imposed on them. Thanks for joining us this evening and see you back here very soon!

    Elliott is slipped in behind the defence by Firmino. He runs onto the pass and hits it first time but can only find the slide netting. That was a decent chance!

    Liverpool corner.

    Jota goes oh so close! Tsimikas fires it to him in the box. Jota brings it down with his right and shoots with his left. The effort rolls inches wide.
  • 46'
    Liverpool get us back underway here!
  • 45'
    HT: Southampton 1-1 Liverpool. Half time here at St. Mary's and the teams go in level at the break! Redmond opened the scoring for the home side within the opening 15 minutes but Minamino soon replied to put the game back on level terms. This is not a vintage Liverpool performance. With so many changes to the team, it all looks a little disjointed out there.
