A SECOND-half turnaround saw Liverpool breeze past Southampton on Saturday afternoon when goals from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jordan Henderson and a Mohamed Salah brace took the Reds another step closer to the Premier League title.

Jurgen Klopp’s side struggled in the first half and Southampton could well have taken the lead in the opening 45 minutes, but the home team fired on all cylinders in the second period.

The Liverpool manager had been full of praise for his opposite number Ralph Hasenhuttl and complimented his team, who looked at one point like they might get something from the game.
