Liverpool Extend Premier League Lead with 3-2 Win Over Southampton
Mohamed Salah’s brace helped Liverpool come from behind to defeat Southampton 3-2, increasing their lead at the top of the Premier League table. The Reds’ victory, combined with Manchester City’s loss, has given Liverpool a comfortable cushion ahead of their highly anticipated match against City next weekend.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot emphasized the need for his team to remain focused and not get complacent despite their strong position. “We’re not getting carried away,” Slot said. “We know how difficult it is to win games in the Premier League.”
Salah’s performance was instrumental in Liverpool’s win, scoring his 11th goal of the season and providing the winner from the penalty spot. His contract is set to expire next summer, and speculation about his future has intensified. Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has called for the club to reward Salah with a new contract, saying, “Salah’s fired the bow, now give him his dough.”
