Liverpool Extends Premier League Lead with Comeback Win Over Southampton

A second-half resurgence, led by Mohamed Salah and Darwin Núñez, pushes Liverpool 16 points clear at the top of the table.

Liverpool overcame a sluggish first half to defeat last-placed Southampton 3-1 at Anfield, maintaining their commanding position in the Premier League title race.
Southampton took an unexpected lead just before halftime after a miscommunication between Liverpool's goalkeeper Alisson and captain Virgil van Dijk.
Darwin Núñez played a pivotal role in the second half, scoring the equalizer and winning a penalty converted by Mohamed Salah, who later added a second goal from the spot.
Salah's brace brought his league tally to 27 goals this season, moving him to third on Liverpool's all-time scorers list and joint-fifth in Premier League history.
Liverpool's victory provides a crucial confidence boost ahead of key upcoming matches, including a Champions League clash against PSG and the League Cup final against Newcastle.
