Southampton 0-2 Liverpool: Firmino and Salah pile more pressure on Mauricio Pellegrino as Saints slip towards relegation

Goals from Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah fired Liverpool to a 2-0 victory at Southampton and up to third place in the Premier League table.

Salah set up Firmino for the opener just seven minutes in and the Egyptian winger grabbed his 22nd Premier League goal of the season shortly before half-time thanks to a clever assist from the Brazilian.

Southampton, who were up against their former defender Virgil van Dijk on his return to St Mary's, end the weekend in the relegation zone as their quest for a first home league win since November continues.
