Before the Premier League enters a month-long break for the World Cup in Qatar, Liverpool at Anfield will be looking to put in a good performance with a win against Southampton, who despite taking an early lead through Roberto Firmino's sixth-minute opener, an unexpected mistake by goalkeeper Alisson Becker led to an equaliser and an unexpected reaction from manager Jurgen Klopp.


The Reds could only hold the lead for two minutes of play as a free kick from the Saints' left side ended up in the back of the net after a cross into the heart of the box from Joe Gomez had already lost his marker and Alisson Becker made an unexpectedly poor save, allowing Che Adamss to rise freely in the air to re-direct the ball into the back of the net to make it 1-1.

Evidently the Reds' defensive blunder prompted a swift reaction from manager Jurgen Klopp, who on this occasion had to vent his feelings from the stands after his red card against Manchester City. The German manager, in addition to expressing visible annoyance at the equaliser, also reacted somewhat incredulously to the situation, as seeing his goalkeeper miss is a situation rarely seen at Liverpool.


Counting the mistake against Southampton, Alisson Becker in conjunction with Joe Gomez have already made two errors that have directly influenced the scoreboard, costing Liverpool this kind of circumstances a loss of points that have ended up weighing so far this season, although for this game against the Saints Darwin Nunez could recompose the way with that pair of scores that have his team winning before halftime by a score of 3-1.

Alisson misses Saints goal
While Liverpool's 3-1 win over Southampton may be in the making at the moment, the Brazil goalkeeper is certainly not happy with his performance so far, as on his 150th Premier League appearance, Alisson Becker has made a mistake that tarnishes his celebrations. Despite the errors, Becker has maintained some great numbers in the English Premier League, as in all those appearances in a Liverpool shirt, the keeper has only conceded 116 goals.
