Liverpool continued their perfect start to the 2018-19 Premier League season on Saturday, beating Southampton at home. Mohamed Salah scored his first goal since August, while Joel Matip was also on point.
Wesley Hoedt gave the Reds an early lead with an unfortunate own goal, and Matip beat his marker to head home the second goal. Salah tapped home from close range just before half-time, and Liverpool controlled proceedings in the second half.
The Reds have yet to lose in any competition, winning all seven of their matches.
