Weekend review: Action and reaction as Reds beat Southampton

Mohamed Salah bagged a brace and Roberto Firmino collected a hat-trick of assists as Liverpool beat Southampton 4-0 at Anfield on Saturday to move 22 points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Firmino's inventive back-heel teed up Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to drill home the opener shortly after half-time and captain Jordan Henderson doubled the lead on the hour from a clever pass by the Brazilian.

Salah made it 3-0 with dink over Saints goalkeeper Alex McCarthy and completed the scoring with a close-range finish from his strike partner's unselfish cut-back in the 90th minute.
