Liverpool extended their lead atop the Premier League table to 22 points on Saturday as they beat Southampton 4-0 at Anfield.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain broke the deadlock two minutes into the second half before Jordan Henderson made it 2-0 on the hour-mark.

Mohamed Salah found the net himself in the 72nd and 90th minutes to hand the Reds their 24th win from 25 league games this season.

The win, their sixth victory in a row against Southampton, puts pressure on second-placed side Manchester City ahead of their trip to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
