Southampton wasted no time going ahead at St. Mary’s, with former Liverpool forward Danny Ings stinging his former team with a wonderful lobbed finish after being picked out behind a makeshift Liverpool defence by a James Ward-Prowse free kick in the second minute.

Liverpool, who Jurgen Klopp said had been making “lemonade” out of a recent string of poor performances, could not recover a result this time around, setting the stage for United to take control of the league next week.
