Liverpool Humiliate Southampton To Go Second

 

Liverpool have moved into second place in the Premier League with a hard-fought 3-0 win over Southampton at St Mary’s.

The visitors did break the deadlock on 16 minutes with Suarez celebrating his 100th Premier League appearance in style with his 24th goal of the season.

The home side were inches away from drawing level on 32 minutes when Lambert knocked down the ball into the path of Lallana inside the six-yard box and he was unlucky to see his effort come back off the post.

However, it was the visitors who recorded the second goal of the the game when Suarez spun Lovren from Gerrard’s pass and he cut the ball back for Sterling to slot home past Boruc just 80 seconds after entering the action.

Liverpool added a third deep into injury time when Suarez was felled inside the box by Jose Fonte and Gerrard drove home from the spot to maintain their bid for a title challenge.

With this result, Liverpool are now second on the table with four points behind leaders Chelsea
