Redmond: I should have had four against Liverpool

Despite making the difference with the only goal of the game, the Southampton player feels he could have killed the EFL Cup semi-final off by himself

Nathan Redmond reflected on a missed opportunity to score a hat-trick, or better, after his goal gave Southampton a slender 1-0 advantage over Liverpool in the EFL Cup semi-finals.

The England Under-21 international struck midway through the first half at St Mary's Stadium after Jay Rodriguez pounced on Ragnar Klavan's error to finish coolly past Loris Karius.

Redmond had not scored in 15 matches prior to Wednesday's encounter and he was denied by sharp Karuis reflexes either side of his goal in the first half before clipping the bar with a cute effort in the game's closing stages.
