"Southampton gave a solid account of themselves, and though Isak was thwarted by Alex McCarthy early on, Liverpool could have had no complaints if they had fallen behind when Adam Armstrong hit the crossbar in the 42nd minute. Yet less than two minutes later, Liverpool made their fortune count. McCarthy's poor pass was pounced on by the impressive Federico Chiesa, who squared for Isak to dink home."
"Chiesa saw a goal disallowed for offside, but Liverpool could not get out of first gear, and Southampton had the goal their performance warranted when Shea Charles poked in after Endo made a hash of clearing from a corner. But Southampton's hopes of a giant-killing were extinguished when Chiesa raced in behind and laid it on a plate for Ekitike in the 85th minute."
Alexander Isak scored his first Liverpool goal after Federico Chiesa pounced on a poor pass from Alex McCarthy and squared for Isak to dink home. Isak started at Anfield following his record move from Newcastle and played 45 minutes before being replaced by Hugo Ekitike. Southampton hit the crossbar through Adam Armstrong and equalised via Shea Charles after a poor clearance from Endo. Chiesa set up Ekitike for the 85th-minute winner, but Ekitike removed his shirt in celebration, received a second yellow and was sent off, earning suspension for the next league game.
