Liverpool dreamed tonight (Monday) of reopening a three-point gap at the top of the Premier League, but it turns out that dreams are separate, and reality is separate. The champion recorded its second loss of the season, 1-0 away against Southampton, who suddenly finds itself already in sixth place in the table.
The Mighty Reds, who finished their last two games with two draws (against West Bromwich Albion and Nocassel), opened the new civil year with an unplanned defeat, which will likely cost them later this week in losing first place (should Manchester United finish). Tomorrow in a draw and up the game against Burnley).
Already after two minutes, the host managed to light St. Mary’s Stadium and put it on the board. Alexander-Arnold with an uncharacteristic mistake, missed the ball and ex Danny Inges said thank you and allowed over Allison. Four minutes before the break, Southampton could have doubled the lead, but substitute Nathan Aries’ ball went just wide of the crossbar.
In the second half, the champion shifted gears and even came up with a number of great opportunities, but this time the problem lay in the lack of sharpness of Sadio Mane, who could have easily reversed the result. maybe next time.
