Liverpool stretched their lead at the top to a massive 16 points, despite a sloppy first 45 minutes.

However, the Dutchman was forced into making three half-time alterations to kickstart the champions-elect. Southampton have taken just nine points from 28 games all season, but stunned Anfield when Will Smallbone fired the visitors in front in first-half stoppage time.
