Premier League: Salah's Brace Seals Liverpool's Comeback Win Over Southampton
Mohd Salah: Mohamed Salah scored two penalties as toppers Liverpool came from behind to defeat bottom-placed Southampton 3-1 at Anfield, stretching their lead at the top of the Premier League to 16 points here on Saturday. The victory, though hard-fought, keeps the Reds firmly on course for the title, while Southampton remain in danger of finishing with the lowest points tally in Premier League history.
With their energy drained from a midweek Champions League victory over Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool struggled early on and gifted Southampton the lead. A miscommunication between Virgil van Dijk and Alisson allowed Will Smallbone to pounce, slotting home from a tight angle. But Reds boss Arne Slot responded with a triple substitution at half-time, and Liverpool returned a transformed side.
Darwin Nunez, who was fortunate to remain on the pitch after a reckless first-half challenge, equalized minutes into the second half, finishing off a well-worked move involving Luis Díaz. The Uruguayan then won a penalty after being brought down by Smallbone, and Salah made no mistake from the spot, sending Anfield into raptures.
