Liverpool Fight Back To Go 16 Points Clear As Title Moves Closer
Liverpool survived a scare from Southampton as Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez inspired the fightback in a 3-1 win that lifted the Premier League leaders 16 points clear at the top on Saturday. Arne Slot's side were rocked by Will Smallbone's first half opener for bottom of the table Southampton at Anfield. But Liverpool recovered their composure after half-time and the much-maligned Nunez equalised before earning the penalty that Salah converted to put them ahead. Salah netted another penalty to reach 32 goals in all competitions this season as the Reds edged closer to a record-equalling 20th English title and their first since 2020.
