Liverpool go eight clear as Salah strikes twice in thriller - live reaction
Pep Guardiola acknowledges that Manchester City is experiencing a sense of vulnerability following their fifth consecutive loss.
Mohamed Salah netted two goals as Liverpool, who are at the top of the Premier League, rallied from behind to defeat Southampton, who are at the bottom of the standings. This victory increased their lead over Manchester City to eight points.
Liverpool received a fortunate break for their first goal when Russell Martin's team made a mistake while trying to build play from the back. Dominik Szoboszlai capitalized on this error, taking advantage of a game filled with blunders.
The Saints capitalized on Liverpool’s mistake when Andy Robertson brought down Tyler Dibling. Adam Armstrong was quick to react, scoring on the follow-up after his penalty was blocked by Caoimhin Kelleher.
Mateus Fernandes took the Premier League leaders by surprise with a quick counter-attack, putting Southampton ahead with a goal. However, Salah quickly answered back, skillfully connecting with a low pass to send a shot past the approaching Alex McCarthy.
In the 83rd minute, Yukinari Sugawara committed a handball, granting Salah the opportunity to finish the comeback. He converted the penalty kick, putting Liverpool eight points ahead of their upcoming match against City next weekend.

Liverpool's Thrilling Comeback Boosts Title Hopes
Liverpool extended their lead to eight points at the top of the Premier League after Mohamed Salah netted two goals, helping the team rally from a deficit to secure a 3-2 victory over Southampton, who currently sit at the bottom of the table, at St. Mary’s Stadium.
Arne Slot’s team aimed to capitalize on Manchester City's third straight league loss on Saturday. However, they faced a strong and at times fierce performance from the Saints, who briefly took the lead after Adam Armstrong and Mateus Fernandes scored, overturning Dominik Szoboszlai’s goal from the first half.
Liverpool's first goal resulted from a significant defensive mistake by Southampton, and after halftime, two additional errors led to the loss of all three points.
