HALF TIME


Half time: And that’s the end of the first half. Southampton will be wondering how they find themselves a goal down. They’ve had the better chances, pinned Liverpool back for much of the opening 45 minutes and looked fairly comfortable defensively. But a piece of individual brilliance from Mane has given the visitors the lead. 

GOAL!

Wow! Brilliant from Mane! The former Southampton man collects the ball just inside the box, works it onto his right foot and curls a superb strike into the far corner. Liverpool have been second best for much of this half, but they lead through a moment of sheer quality.

Romeu plays Adams in behind but his cross is straight at Matip. The 23-year-old has been lively in this first half, but so far has lacked a little composure.

Liverpool are lacking fluidity, lacking ideas in the final third. They’ve created nothing since that bright opening few minutes. Southampton, meanwhile, look energetic and confident when they attack.

Big chance! Southampton go close again, this time through Adams. Romeu swings the ball into the box, right onto the head of the young striker. But he can only nod the ball over the bar. The hosts should really be in front.

Romeu slides into a hard challenge on Robertson and appears to get the ball. Referee Andre Marriner doesn’t think so, though, and blows for a free kick. The Southampton midfielder’s angry reaction earns him a booking.

Oxlade-Chamberlain plays a ball over the top for Salah to chase, and the Egyptian races onto it. He strikes the ball on his left foot from a tight angle, but it’s a wild effort and flies well off target.

Another chance for Southampton! They win the ball in midfield again and Redmond sets Bertrand free down the left. His ball across is parried away by Adrian, but only into the path of Valery, whose tame shot is blocked.

Liverpool haven’t been able to keep up the intensity after a promising start. The last ten minutes has been all Southampton, but the home side will want to take the lead while they’re on top.

The hosts are rampant and the fans are responding. Adrian gives the ball away with another questionable clearance, which allows Southampton to force another corner. This time, it’s cleared by Liverpool, who now have Milner, stitched up and bandaged, back on the pitch.

What a save! Adrian makes a fine stop from close range to deny Yoshida, who meets a Ward-Prowse corner from just a few yards out and powers a header towards goal. Somehow, it doesn’t find the net. Southampton are on top at the moment.

More nervousness at the back for Liverpool. Matip attempts to guide a long ball back to his goalkeeper but gets way too much on the header. It flies just wide.

Romeu does brilliantly to dispossess Salah and pick out Redmond, who sets off towards Liverpool’s box. Oxlade-Chamberlain tracks back and stops the cross, and the corner that follows is drilled agonisingly across the face of goal and wide by Vestergaard.

There’s a pause in play after a clash of heads between Milner and Ward-Prowse. The former has come off worse, and needs stitches to stop the bleeding.

Lovely work from Salah, who makes a run down the right flank and backheels the ball into the path of Oxlade-Chamberlain. The midfielder shoots from just inside the box but drags his effort wide of the far post.

Southampton have woken up. Redmond plays a superb ball over the top for Adams, who almost rounds Adrian. But Van Dijk does just enough to deny the forward a clear path to goal.

An alarming moment of indecision from Adrian, who takes an age to clear the ball and allows Ward-Prowse to close down. Thankfully for the Liverpool goalkeeper, the ball deflects wide.

The visitors are dominant in the early stages, controlling possession and attacking with penetration. Alexander-Arnold is sent clear down the right and sees a cross blocked behind for a corner. The set piece comes to nothing.

Milner is next to threaten, linking up with Mane and surging to the edge of the box. His shot deflects and almost deceives Gunn, but the goalkeeper collects fairly comfortably in the end.
