Buts : Armstrong (42e) and Mateus Fernandes (56e) pour les Saints // Szoboszlai (30e) et Salah (65e et 83eSP) for the Reds
Traveling to St Mary's Stadium in Southampton this Sunday afternoon, Liverpool gave themselves a scare, but won (2-3)to distance himself from Manchester City.
Dominators without obtaining masses of opportunities, the Reds ended up crashing at the half hour mark. Put into orbit by the poor recovery from Flynn Downes – and a succession of approximate passes in defense – Dominik Szoboszlai adjusted his curl from the left at the entrance to the area (30e). Easy scenario, and even a little too much, since just before the break, Virgil van Dijk's loss of the ball in midfield allowed Tyler Dibling to escape, then push Andy Robertson to make a mistake. Limit penalty, but scored in two stages by Adam Armstrong (42e).
Upon returning from the locker room, Saints even took the initiative thanks to Mateus Fernandes, arriving at the conclusion of a magnificent counter-attack led by Diblin and Armstrong (56e). Enough to wake up the visitors and Mohamed Salah, equalizing on a long ball from Ryan Gravenberch pushed to the bottom of the crampon (65e), then author of the winning goal, with a penalty also, following the hand of Yukinari Sugawara, barely coming into play (83e). The title dream is well and truly allowed for Liverpool.
