Liverpool won their seventh consecutive game in all competition with a 3-0 drubbing of Southampton, in an English Premier League (EPL) 2018-19 match, in what is turning out to be a dream season for Jurgen Klopp’s men. Joel Matip, Roberto Firmino and Xherdan Shaqiri were the three fresh players drafted in by  Liverpool.

Shaqiri made an instant impression ten minutes into the game when his deflected strike found the back of the net courtesy a touch of fortune from Wesley Hoedt. Joel Matip then headed home his side’s second of the game to mark his first goal since last November. English Premier League 2018–19 Points Table & Standings: Liverpool Beat Tottenham Hotspurs 2–1 to Remain on Top of EPL Table the Current Football Season!

Mo Salah who has not been amongst the goals at the start of the season but is playing extremely well made it 3-0 towards the end of the first half. After the break, James Milner came in for Xherdan Shaqiri on account of a tactical swap by Jurgen Klopp who needed more control in the midfield.

Perhaps the only low point of the game for Liverpool is the injury of star defender Virgil Van Dyk who bruised his rib and was forced off. After the game, Jurgen Klopp confirmed the Dutch international should be available for the big games against Chelsea coming up in the EPL and League Cup.

The win also lifted Liverpool three points clear at the top as Chelsea are not in action until Sunday. The win also marked Liverpool’s best start to a campaign ever and had the fans believing of big things coming their way this season.
