Sadio Mane’s impressive attack right at halftime outside Jurgen Klopp’s side in front, Senegal’s end huddled at home from 25 yards against his former club.

The first game faced the race of the play, but seemed to calm the nerves of the visitors while controlling the first exchanges of the second half.

Roberto Firming doubled the lead in the 71st minute with a fresh finish before Adrian gave Saints a lifeguard in the absence of seven minutes.

The archer went straight to Danny Ings, who made a taboo to cut the deficit in half. Ings should have won his team a share of the points when he achieved a glorious opportunity from inside the six-yard box.

This is how the action developed.

FT: Far from being perfect, but Liverpool, but claim three important points at St Mary’s to keep a perfect start to the season.

Danny Ings and Che Adams will regret their missed opportunities to win at least one point for the Saints.
