Liverpool deliver INCREDIBLE moment unseen for 90 years

Liverpool played Southampton at Anfield on Saturday in the Premier League. The Reds made some history.

Liverpool went into Saturday's meeting with Southampton 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League and with a chance to go 16. Arsenal won't play until Sunday's meeting with Manchester United.

They were expected to win, naturally. Southampton have been the worst team in the top flight this season, picking up just nine points from their 27 games.

They rarely score, concede loads and have struggled against pretty much everyone. Liverpool, on the other hand, beat Paris Saint-Germain in midweek despite playing terribly.

A win for the Saints would always have been a genuine shock - one of the biggest we've seen in the Premier League.

Liverpool winning, though, would put them 16 points clear. Arsenal don't play until tomorrow and while they'd have two games in hand, that's a mountain to climb.

This isn't exactly an easy Liverpool team to catch, after all. Arne Slot has them grinding out results and blowing teams away - hence the 13-point lead.

It's all underpinned by dominant home form and that home form that allowed Liverpool to equal an incredible record against the Saints.

Liverpool chase Sunderland

Liverpool have now scored at least twice in their last 19 home games across all competitions. It's a truly ridiculous feat - no one, it seems, can keep them out.

No English team has managed that streak since Sunderland in 1935.

Liverpool knew that getting two would almost certainly deliver a win, too, given Southampton average 0.7 goals per game this season. Liverpool were always going really attack this one, then.

A slow start put the record at risk, with the Reds putting up zero good chances in the first half. Southampton even found a race goal before the break.

But Liverpool came out storming for the second half. Darwin Nunez quickly equalised from a Luis Diaz cross before he won a penalty soon after.

Up stepped Mo Salah to convert for 2-1 - and with it, Liverpool's 19th consecutive home game with at least two goals scored. The Egyptian even became the Reds' outright third all-time top scorer in the process.
