Alexis Mac Allister came on, Liverpool reacted and consolidated their lead

LIVERPOOL woke up in time and turned Southampton around 3-1 at home at Anfield, on matchday 28 of the Premier League , where they remain the sole leader .

Alexis Mac Allister was not a starter and came on in the second half due to coach Arne Slot's decision to take care of some figures, taking into account that next week they will have the return leg of the Champions League round of 16 against PSG and the Carabao Cup final.

The visitor, who was last with only 2 wins so far this season, surprised the leader when he opened the scoring at the end of the first half with Smallbone's goal after a blooper by goalkeeper Alisson and his defenders.

In the second half, the changes by the Reds coach took effect and the game changed. First, the Uruguayan Darwin Núñez and then Mo Salah, on two occasions, scored as Liverpool added another victory and got closer and closer to the Premier League title.

With this victory, Liverpool has 70 points and is moving away from its runners-up, Arsenal and the surprising Nottingham Forest.
