London, November 27 (BUS): Diogo Jota celebrated his early goal by sitting on the pitch at Anfield, tying his legs and pretending to play on a podium.
An Associated Press report said Liverpool simply played Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday.
In another impressive display by the best attacking player in the league, Liverpool won 4-0. She has scored at least two goals in her last 17 matches in all competitions.
Needless to say, Jurgen Klopp’s ruthless side are the Premier League’s top scorer with 39 – no other team is within eight – and the recent victory has propelled Liverpool to a point close to leaders Chelsea, which won’t play until Sunday against Manchester. United.
Jota led Liverpool with two goals – the first came within two minutes, with his celebration perhaps a nod to his fondness off the field for games. In fact, he won the FIFA 20 tournament played by the English Premier League players while football was suspended last year due to the outbreak of the Corona virus.
Thiago Alcantara’s shot and Virgil van Dijk’s shot deflected against a Southampton side whose daring style of fielding three attackers at Anfield backfired.
Liverpool took a 3-0 lead after 37 minutes and could easily have doubled their final goals.
Liverpool’s style up front is something Eddie Howe is trying to bring to Newcastle after taking charge at the Saudi-controlled northeastern club, but it could take some time.
The 2-0 defeat to Arsenal extended Newcastle’s unbeaten start to the league to 13 games, and the bottom-placed team lost even more on Saturday, with Norwich’s penultimate draw at home to Wolverhampton 0-0.
Meanwhile, Liverpool star Steven Gerrard’s start as a manager in the Premier League couldn’t have been better.
Aston Villa have had two consecutive victories under Gerrard, most recently 2-1 at Crystal Palace.
