Liverpool's humiliating win over Southampton at Anfield

Liverpool's humbling of Southampton

Reds continue to show their paternity to the Saints

There was no better way for Liverpool to momentarily close their Premier League participation than against one of their favorite rivals, Southampton, because at least during Jurgen Klopp's management from the bench, his players throughout the seasons have been able to shine against an opponent that has seen 16 Liverpool players have already celebrated at least one goal against them, increasing for this match the figure to 17 elements with that pair of goals scored by Darwin Núñez.

To tell the truth, Southampton has not been at least an uncomfortable opponent for Liverpool every time they meet in the Premier League in recent years, as the Merseyside team, regardless of the conditions under which they play, have usually won, a situation that the players have obviously taken advantage of to increase their scoring statistics against an opponent that lends itself to perfection, as even players without much soccer activity or some who occupy positions far from the opponent's goal have been able to score at least once.

The list of Liverpool players who on at least one occasion scored a goal against Southampton in the Jurgen Klopp era are; Christian Benteke, Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi, Jordon Ibe, Philippe Coutinho, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Joel Matip, Naby Keita, Jordan Henderson, Sadio Mane, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Thiago Alcántara, Diogo Jota, Virgil van Dijk and Takumi Minamino, with Darwin Núñez joining the extended group with a brace to give the Reds a 3-1 win.

For this last Premier League matchday before the World Cup, striker Roberto Firmino could not get on the list with his goal, as he had already been on the list for some seasons, adding his goal not in the statistics but rather directly to the general table, The fact that Liverpool can have a better goal difference makes them more likely in the future to be able to put themselves above a rival with whom they are tied on points, positioning Liverpool well above their rivals in the goal difference with that +11 they have at the moment.

Reds' hegemony over Saints

In addition to Roberto Firmino's good performance and his goal sent a message to the Brazilian national team that left him out of Qatar, Darwin Núñez's good performance during the 87 minutes he was on the field was almost impeccable as he made no mistakes when making decisions in front of goal and added to his personal account a couple of goals that place him as a better player not only in Liverpool but also in the Premier League, getting closer and closer to the numbers that Erling Haaland is currently managing with Manchester City.
