MAN OF THE MATCH?

Match summary

Liverpool continued their perfect start to the season with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Southampton.

Xherdan Shaqiri celebrated a first Premier League start for the club by being involved in two of the three first-half goals.

On 10 minutes his shot was deflected in off Wesley Hoedt for an own goal.

On 21 minutes, Joel Matip’s towering header from a corner made it 2-0.

After going close a number of times, Mohamed Salah scored on the stroke of half-time, tapping in after Shaqiri’s free-kick had hit the bar.

The second half was quieter. Virgil Van Dijk went off with an injury that did not look serious, while Salah thought he had a late second but was ruled offside.

Six consecutive wins keep Liverpool top on 18 points, while Southampton are 14th with five points.
